Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Poll: Change FOSS4G structure to have some continuity of organization and management

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all,

I prefer option 1.

If this poll was asked just after FOSS4G Seoul 2015, I would have selected 
option 2 without any hesitations.

However I now realize that I, LOC members, and local community had learned a 
lot by going through the difficulties of preparing the event altogether. That 
experience was very unique, invaluable and is now one of driving force of 
vibrant activity of OSGeo Korean chapter. Community driven FOSS4G with help 
from PCO is not so bad model, I think.

Kind regards,

+2 for considering change

There's definitely room to consider continual improvements for the conference 
process, as the world, and our community has evolved considerably over the last 
few years. No easy solutions, but lots to think about.

Eli starting this thread with an "informal poll" makes complete sense. The 
Committee is simply doing it's job of helping the Board to manage and promote 
the conference activity. We don't get to make decisions by ourselves, but 
generating ideas is certainly part of the mandate. And, as others have said, if 
the board disagrees with a proposal/idea, they do not have to approve it.

+2 from me

Everyone is welcome to participate in the conversation about changes to the 
organisation of FOSS4G, then the Conference Ctee should vote and make a 
recommendation (or recommendations) to the Board and the Board should decide.

Our organisational model is that the charter members elect the board and the 
board then makes decisions on their behalf, if CM’s don’t agree with board 
decisions they have the option to vote in a new board, we do not have a direct 
voting or referendum system where CM’s are consulted on individual decisions.

Hi Maxi,
Thanks! I completely agree with those type of changes indeed. It makes sense we 
have a list of scenario’s forward and have a vote on that by the community.

For what the membership of the conference committee is concerned, I left simply 
because of the supposed/imposed barrier of not having been a conference chair, 
although I didn’t agree with that at all. Didn’t feel like fighting over it 
though. It would be better to make membership voluntary just like other 
committees. Possibly approved by the board or charter members.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Dear Jeroen,
Thanks for your considerations.

I wasn't proposing to extend the evaluation of proposals to the whole 
community. I understand a dedicated committee should do this (even though I 
believe a part of the evaluation of a proposal could be assigned by votes of 
the community, maybe 10%?).

My point is that decisions of changing the organisation of the FOSS4G cannot be 
done without the involvement of the whole community. It's not about changing 
the evaluation process, it's about deciding for example to have a fixed 
location, to completely leave it to an external company, to pay the committee 
members to do it, to have it online or in person, to cancel the global and keep 
only to local conference...

Another point is that so far there's the assumption that only organizer of 
previous FOSS4G have the competence to understand technical matters. That's 
quite aleatory and in no other committee there is such an entry barrier... If 
you didn't play in NBA you cannot be a good coach? Can a government self-elect 
his members? What about innovation, new ideas and other experiences, or we're 
just close in our FOSS4G past events experience... Because only if you run a 
global conference you have the competence...

Sorry to be long, and this is not personal at all, I just like being inclusive 
and have empowered participatory approach..

All the best,
Maxi

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] My feelings about board elections

[Sanghee Shin]

Hello All, 

Thanks for your comments and sharing your thoughts through private email and 
this list. At first I should admit that my tone was somewhat aggressive and 
tough. Sorry for that. 

For the first point, I just wanted to have OSGeo better represent regional 
distributions. If new board members agree with this and can fix it, that’s ok. 
I believe I raised proper concern on this.

For the second point, I’m impressed with other’s tolerant and practical 
approach. Just like I’m asking you that there’s another region outside of 
Europe and NA, I should admit that there’s another culture different from mine. 
I still can’t understand the situation however there’s something I should 
accept without understanding. If board can set up new board election process, 
that will be great. 

Unlike many other’s speculation, Jeff is one of my best friend in this 
community. So, it was so painful for me to have written down something against 
him. 

Good luck to all. 

Regards, 
신상희

[OSGeo-Discuss] My feelings about board elections

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

First of all I'd like to give my sincere congratulations to newly elected board 
members. Here I want to share some of my feelings around this board elections. 

1. Needless to say all new board members are deserved to win the election. 
However as a whole, now we have all WHITE board of directors only from Europe 
and North America. We've talked about the importance of diversity and 
inclusiveness many times so far, however the reality is like this. Please don't 
get me wrong. I'm not writing this because of my failure in an election. Being 
nominated and encouragement to run the election was just great honour to me. 
For me as Asian, one of most shocking and disappointing moment in this election 
was Venka's failure in an election. Venka has contributed so much to Asian 
community over the last 2 years. His contributions and activities reached out 
not only to Japan but also to Thailand, Vietnam, India and sometimes to Korea 
as well. He also put so much efforts organizing FOSS4G Asia this year. And I 
know as a former board member how he restlessly carried out his duty as 
president of OSGeo. And finally he failed! I know he didn't answer to some of 
quesitons to nominees during the election period. Ok, it’s excuse however he 
and I was being tied up with handling a urgent issue in community. Anyway I and 
other Asian friends are so shocked that he was not elected! I bet other Asian 
members share the same feeling. The result gave the clear meaning to Asian 
community, "If Venka can't be a board member of OSGeo, nobody can be forever 
from Asia." I already saw many complaints and discouragement in Asian 
community. I believe regions other than Europe and NA have the rights to be 
reprensented failry. So, I'd like to ask new board members to fix this kind of 
wrong representation of board configuration by adopting new election rules. 

2. I believe Jeff McKenna's ambiguous behaviours around election period made 
both him and OSGeo untrustworthy. I don't want to mention again here some of 
concerns over him in detail during the election. One thing I'd like to point 
out is his un-withdrwal from board election after disclosing the results. 
Nothing personal, Jeff. Actually I tried to accept and understand this 
situation so many times for a couple of days, but I failed to accept. We're not 
the children in the kindergarten! How can it be happened? The last thing I did 
as a former board member was approving the motion, "This board election is 
valid." I was able to block the motion however I approved the motion. Because I 
accepted his withdrawal as sincere one and trusted him. I'm feeling my good 
intention was being betrayed. I know I don't have any rights now to change my 
previous decision and I don't want to criticise someone here. New board, this 
case cleary has shown that there's big loophole in our election process. If 
OSGe can't fix it, OSGeo will lose trust and credibility. Board, you need to 
bear in mind that there's already bunch of sign of loosing trust from community.

Many mentioned that OSGeo is run by Do-ocracy. I believe the basis of Do-ocracy 
is recognizing of someone's work and trust. If someone's hardwork is not 
recognized and acknowledged fairy, who will want to jump into the matters to 
fix it? And if someone can't trust the organization, who wants to put their 
precious time and efforts to untrustworthy one?

If OSGeo lose the trust, it will lose everything. OSGeo is just shell. 

Best regards,
신상희

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Costly FOSS4Gs

[Sanghee Shin]

Hello Ravi, 

Here are my answers to your questions. 

1. To run international FOSS4G we need much money as described by many
2. We have only 2 revenue sources from international FOSS4G to meet the running 
cost, one is from registration, the other is from sponsors. 
3. Now we want to have more affordable registration fee. And then we need to 
increase sponsorships. 
4. Many sponsors are commercial companies, sometimes from government bodies. 
5. To increase sponsorships from companies, I believe we need to make 
international FOSS4G more business friendly to ensure our sponsors that they 
are getting benefits from their sponsoring/investments. 

I can share interesting story here in Korea. Korean R user group will have 
their annual conference( https://onoffmix.com/event/115611 ) 10 days later. 
Actually there was some registration fee for the conference. However it’s now 
free for online pre-registration because of large sponsorship from Microsoft 
Korea. Yes, from MS!

Hello all

A significant group who have possibly not yet chimed in on this issue are the 
commercial organizations who sell GFOSS support and development. I presume that 
FOSS4G is one of their best opportunities to get new business.

I know there have been recent discussions/disagreements on this list about how 
far OSGeo should promote commercial organizations. However, these companies are 
the crucial element in GFOSS adoption in many larger public- and private-sector 
bodies. Many simply will not entertain GFOSS without commercial support, many 
believe the old myth that open source means no support, and many simply will 
not accept the risk of GFOSS without that support.

My point is that GFOSS would not have anything like the market penetration it 
now does without commercial companies offering open-source support and 
development. As I say, I stand to be corrected, but FOSS4G surely enables them 
to persuade others to migrate to GFOSS, which is to the whole community's 
benefit.

Thanks

After reading them, I have 3 questions:
= One to Sanghee: 
I really like your personal review of the last 2 years as a Board member. Not 
just fun parts, but also some harder times. 
Could you please elaborate on the "Sometimes I saw the 'Desire to the 
Innocence' from the community"? I simply don't quite understand what you mean 
by this.

I got this kind of feelings when sometimes saw antipathy against 
commercial/proprietary services/products. Open source and 
commercial/proprietary use the same language and tools to achieve same goal, 
while paths are different. 

= And one to all of you:
Some of you talk about being an inclusive organization. 
For the geographical and probably cultural aspect of inclusiveness, do you 
think the Board should have it's roots in as much continents / languages as 
possible, so preferably 1 Board member from every continent (not counting for 
Antarctica, ha!)

That might be ideal configuration if we could have board members not only from 
different continents/languages but also from diverse domains.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] board members candidates manifestos please

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all, 
Sorry for the late posting this. We Koreans enjoyed Chuseok holidays(Harvest 
Festival) for 10 days. 
Here are my manifestos mainly based on Steven’s questions. 
• If you are standing for re-election - what roles have you taken in the last 2 
years? what do you believe you have achieved and what has not worked as well as 
you hoped?
Recalling last 2 years as a board, it was great honor for me to have served as 
a board at OSGeo. However I also confess that it was not so pleasant experience 
as I expected. And it required much time than I initially thought. There were 
many endless debates and discussions all over the lists and I sometimes felt 
helpless being stuck in the endless maze having realized that Director’s role 
is setting Directions and sometimes time can fix the things. 
At first please take a look at my manifestos from 2015 election 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2015_Candidate_Manifestos#Sanghee_Shin and 
my recent updates on my roles 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Paris_2017#2._Director_Update 
here for my roles for the last 2 years. 
Over the last 2 years I tried to bring in different views to OSGeo horizontally 
from Asia, vertically from business domains. Also I tried to put some efforts 
to increase the relationship with UN. I’m not sure whether the results out of 
my activities are satisfactory or not. I should admit that there were not so 
many chances to represent Asia’s view at the board level. It’s unclear if it is 
caused by Asia’s low activities or cultural/language barriers. However I’m very 
happy to see many vibrant local activities in Asia region over the last couple 
of years. As a businessman I tried to be more tolerant and permissive toward 
issues around OSGeo. Sometimes I saw the ‘Desire to the Innocence’ from the 
community. I’m confident we can grow more with more diverse views and 
impurities. This is far from the hostile takeover. Regarding the UN activities, 
I’m pleased to have played small set of role in developing a relationship with 
UN. As a result of FOSS4G 2015 Seoul’s UN special session, UN Open GIS 
Initiative officially started at the March of last year and I was designated as 
Chair of TAG(Technical Advisory Group of UN Open GIS Initiative) at the 
November of 2016. UN Open GIS Initiative is going well and hope UN could 
complete their plan soon with full operation of their system based on open 
source. 
• All candidates - what role, specific topics would you like to work on within 
the board and why? what do you hope to contribute and achieve in the next 2 
years?
I believe too much devotions and affections to OSGeo will harm both me and 
OSGeo. I’ll limit my contribution time to OSGeo and keep distances from the 
Foundation as much as I love OSGeo. By doing this I think I can have the 3rd 
person’s view toward the OSGeo. Anyway my first priority will be representing 
Asia’s voice, that’s the reason why many of my Asian friends asked me to run 
for the re-election. And as a non-developers and a businessman, I’d also like 
to bring in users/practitioners/business mind to the board level. As our 
foundation grow, we need to hear and reflect voices from members other than 
developers. Tangibly to say I would like to see 2 things in the next 2 years. 
First I’d like to see the successful completion of UN Open GIS Initiative, 
which is at Spiral 1 and 2 stage now. Second, I will encourage Asian people to 
actively jump in Foundation’s activity without shyness.
• If there was only 1 thing you could change in the next 2 years what would it 
be?
Many core parts of OSGeo project is being developed during the spare time of 
contributors. This could harm the sustainability of open source ecosystem and 
our foundation. One of my interest is how to make virtuous cycle within our 
ecosystem at least in our foundation, from developers to 
users/practitioners/businessman. Now we see that many companies and 
institutions get the profits/benefits using OSGeo projects. I believe some 
parts of those profits/benefits should be returned to real developers in some 
way. I have no concrete idea how to make this virtuous cycle work. But, I can 
share my experience here in Korea. Recently my company and other 11 Korean open 
source companies formed KAOS-G(Korea Alliance of Open Source Geospatial) as a 
legal entity. Unlike OSGeo, KAOS-G is a company alliance to capture the value 
by offering professional open source GIS to customers and return the profits, 
contribute back to the communities. It’s just start and experience however I 
expect some of good idea I can get from this KAOS-G activities. 

I’ll update my manifestos to the wiki page soon. 

May the FOSS & PEACE be with you & us all.  

Kind regards,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Marketing] Proprietary GIS on our OSGeo website

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all, 

Let’s go back to the legal issues. ESRI provides its clear guidelines about how 
to use its products name, web link and logo here: 
http://www.esri.com/legal/weblink-logoagreement. Please read through the 
license agreement. I don’t think we can meet all the terms and conditions 
provided by ESRI.

It's different degrees of annoyance. I guess a brand-less and
link-less list of names of proprietary products would not be too
"offensive" for me (assuming spam filtering lets it pass) but I'd
still prefer an hidden keyword. Something that you never see written
but is recognized by the search engine to give you back a similar
software: you search for  you get .

The "like Photoshop, only better" motto I like even when it contains
the name because it explicitly bashes it :)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Charter Member Nomination: Stephen Mather

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all, 

I don’t want to flood the list once again. However I’m here to second the 
nomination of Stephen Mather. He has contributed much to PostGIS and 
OpenDroneMap projects. Also he has carried out many outreach activities 
including workshops, seminars and talks. He will be a great asset to our 
community. 

Cheers,

 Forwarded Message 


Nominee: Stephen Mather - USA

Stephen has likely been most recently visible within the OSGeo community 
as the founder and an ongoing contributor to OpenDroneMap -- for which 
he received supportive grant funding in 2016; on which he has given 
numerous workshops, presentations, and trainings since its development; 
and through which he has partnered with a number of people and agencies 
to use geospatial technologies for humanitarian efforts and other 
applications in education, governmental work, and more.

Through mentoring within and beyond his professional role, Stephen 
encourages the development of geospatial skills in a variety of folk, 
and has recently served as a both mentor and a teacher in cooperative 
programs in Musanze, Rwanda in addition to partnering with students at 
the State University Zanzibar and the University of Rwanda on geospatial 
projects.

Stephen is very active in outreach efforts; the last three years have 
included workshops and presentations all over the globe on open source 
geospatial software and systems (with a notable concentration on drone 
systems/remote sensing applications) -- events include FOSS4G 
(2017,2015,2014), State of the Map Africa (2017), FOSS4G Africa (2017), 
State of the Map US (2016).

Technically, Stephen brings a wide range of expertise in across GIS 
packages/protocols/libraries, remote sensing, and variety of programming 
languages/libraries and is one of the co-authors of the PostGIS Cookbook.

I believe that with a combination of strong technical skills and a 
dedication to outreach/education in diverse communities, Stephen has 
brought a great deal to the OSGeo community for years, and will continue 
to do so.

Hi Marco and Peter, 

Sorry for my ignorance. However I couldn’t tell the difference between ancient 
greek oracle, Bible and modern science. For me, those things are the same in

however the great virtue/categorical imperative those are though.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G events - email privacy

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

I feel that many realised the importance and necessity of CRM here in OSGeo. 

So, if anybody could lead and volunteer for CRM selecting, setting-up and 
managing, that will be really appreciated. Board could provide necessary 
resources, I believe. 

Past FOSS4G attendees, FOSS4G and OSGeo sponsors are the main customers we 
should manage.

Hi Steven, 

I don’t think that might be another loads of managing different lists. The core 
lists are only two, previous attendees and sponsors lists, 11 lists are there 
at MailChimp.

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Seoul videos are available on the web!

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

FYI, all the videos of FOSS4G Seoul are now available on the web. 
https://vimeo.com/album/3605087  This might not be possible without great 
contribution from Ms. Seoin Kim. Many thanks to Seoin! It took more than we 
expected due to some technical problems in the videos. Anyway please enjoy it! 

And as you know all the presentation files are linked at the conference 
program. 
https://www.meci.co.kr/societyevent/FOSS4G2015/program/program_1.asp?sMenu=pro1 

Seoul team will link videos to conference program as well soon. 

Best regards,

Thank you Maria and Venka for your great report!

FYI, GIS Resources already had reported the FOSS4G Seoul here: 
http://www.gisresources.com/foss4g-2015-seoul-ends-successful/ 


And as far as I know GIM International will also cover the conference results 
soon.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Renaming FOSS4G

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear all, 

After changing conference name, losing long-lasted brand value will be very 
immediate and clear. However gaining the popularity of another firm brand will 
take time and the effect will be vague. 

Sometimes branding strategy doesn’t work as we imagine in our brain. Branding 
is more about emotion than the logic. I don’t want to see OSGeo losing existing 
loyalty only to try to attract new comers. We still use QWERTY, it's 
inconvenient over DVORAK though. 

Best regards,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

I think OSGeo is a body or carrier to carry the spirit of the open source to 
the world. OSGeo is copper wire to transmit electricity to remote place. 
Electricity had been there long before the invention of copper wire. We 
invented copper wire to carry electricity to remote place and now realised 
copper wire caused the many electricity loss because of rust or noise. 

Back to Darrell’s question. Both need both. Just like body needs spirit, 
electricity needs wire. 

Back to Darrell’s question again. What will happen if OSGeo disappear? There 
will not be official invitation to UN-GGIM conference by UN. There was a 
meeting between UN Geospatial Section and OSGeo Board during the FOSS4G Seoul 
for the future cooperation. And there might be no MOU between LH Corp(which has 
16,000 employees in Korea) and OSGeo. Consequently the spread of open source 
GIS in Korea might have been slowed down drastically. It’s just like losing all 
your copper wire to connect your electricity to your device. What about the 
Geo4All initiatives? I don’t think this wonderful achievement was possible 
without OSGeo. 

About OSGeo’ death, I’ll not be surprised or care much about whether OSGeo die 
this evening. There’s nothing immortal. If OSGeo fully seed and spread the 
spirit of open source, who cares if the body die or not. Spirit eventually bear 
fruits. The real thing we should be worried about is the spiritual dead.

The problem of recent OSGeo is that it has grown too fast recently just like 
teenagers. It looks like adult however still young and is not capable of doing 
many things. It is just embarrassed with many sudden request and callings. So, 
what should we do now to look after this teenager? First we need to be proud of 
what it has accomplished so far and give it a cheer. And then sit down together 
to talk about the future positively, if I’m a father. 

Having seen the OSGeo since 2006, I believe we can be proud of OSGeo and it’s 
achievements. I don’t think we need to reinvent the wheel once again and still 
can fix it at the moment. 

All the best,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Question(s) for board candidates

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear Darrell, 

Here are my answers to your questions. 

1) What do you see as OSGeo’s purpose today?
-> Promoting FOSS4G spirit world wide. 
 
1a) What is OSGeo doing today that it shouldn’t be doing?
-> Giving too much organising burden to FOSS4G LOC. Eventually much burden to 
LOC will damage the sustainability of FOSS4G in long term. 

2) What do you see as OSGeo’s purpose in five years?
-> Being FOSS4G catalyst among various players around open source GIS

2a) What should OSGeo be doing in five years that it *isn’t* doing today?
-> Need to develop more formal and stable relationship with outer organisations 
or players. 

3) How do we get from (1) to (2)?
-> We need to increase the regional, gender, domain, sector diversity 
inside/around OSGeo to accommodate to a new change. There might be new persons 
to handle new issues properly and effectively. 

3a) How can you help that?
-> I’ll add my perspective as a businessman from Asia. Also I could play a role 
in developing relationship with UN based on my experience in organising UN 
special session at FOSS4G Seoul. 

All the best,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

I’ll try to fill out my Manifestos and answer to several questions as a 
candidate of Board of Director by the voting deadline. However there would be 
possibility that I can’t do that. 

Actually I’m too tired and exhausted now to think about something and write 
down my thought there in English, that’s not my native language. Furthermore 
I’ve been away from my family, especially from my lovely young daughter, for 
more than 3 weeks because of FOSS4G Seoul. I’ve just come back from Seoul. 

The reason why I’m sending this email is not for asking your understanding but 
for informing you that my not responding your request automatically means I’m 
ignoring you and OSGeo. 

I’m not Robot and for me my health and my family are more important than OSGeo 
BoD. I’ve got several private emails regarding this and I believe it’s more 
efficient to express my thoughts/opinions publicly in this way. 

All the best,

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Seoul is ALL OVER! Thank you so much!!

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

FOSS4G Seoul has been completed successfully last week. We’ve got around 562 
attendants from 46 countries. The number of final attendants was beyond my 
expectation! One of the greatest news is that around 64% of attendants came 
from Asia! It was really FOSS4G Big Bang from Asia!! 

On behalf of FOSS4G Seoul team, I really appreciate all your attending, 
supports and sponsoring. Without your great help & efforts this wonderful event 
was not be possible. Also hope you’ve enjoyed the event and cherish the great 
memories from Seoul. 

Thank you so much and see you in Bonn, German next year!

[OSGeo-Discuss] Only 2 days left until FOSS4G Seoul online registration closing

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

I’d like to give you gentle reminder that FOSS4G Seoul on-line registration 
will be closed on 23:59 2nd September(Samoa Standard Time). So please make 
hurry! You can register here: http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/

Any registrations received after this deadline will be considered as On-site 
Registration. The On-Site registration fee will be the same as of On-line's. 
However there will be possibility that On-Site registrants can't collect 
conference kit(program book, t-shirt, 32GB OSGeo Live USB, Seoul MICE card and

Cheers and see you in Seoul.

 Dear All,
 
 I'm Heegu Park, a member of FOSS4G Korean Chapter and a member of FOSS4G
 Seoul 2015 Organizing Committee.
 
 I want to nominate one person from South Korea.
 
 *Name*: Byeong-Hyeok Yu (Korea National Park Service)
 *Country*: South Korea
 *Contact email*: b...@knps.or.kr
 
 It is my pleasure to nominate Byeong-Hyeok Yu from USA, as an OSGeo Charter
 Member. Byeong-Hyeok is one of few GIS specialists at Korea National Park
 Service and has actively used Open Source GIS to analyze GIS data for the
 environment or service in National Parks in South Korea. He has also taught
 the way of using QGIS for National Parks to park rangers or Government
 people. He made a guide book about QGIS applications for National Parks in
 South Korea and it became official and published Government training
 portal. I think his activities, contribution and passion for GIS made Korea
 National Park Service's eyes open toward Open Source GIS.
 
 He has actively participated in FOSS4G Korea event and socialized with
 FOSS4G members. He has passion for GIS and Open Source and definitely He
 will be a great asset for the foundation, as a Charter Member.
 
 
 
 
 
 Thank you very much,
 
 Best regards,
 
 Heegu Park

[OSGeo-Discuss] Some announcements regarding FOSS4G Seoul

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

Ye! Only 4 weeks left until FOSS4G Seoul!!

All LOC members are very excited to welcome you here in Seoul and I’d like to 
give you some notices regarding FOSS4G Seoul. 

1. On-line registration(http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/ 
http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/) will be closed on 2nd 
September. Any registrations received after this deadline will be considered as 
On-site Registration. The On-Site registration fee will be the same as of 
On-line's. However there will be possibility that On-Site registrants can't 
collect conference kit(program book, t-shirt, 32GB OSGeo Live USB, Seoul MICE 
card and etc), because FOSS4G Seoul team will order conference kits based on 
On-line registration number. We’ll order more for the buffer definitely. But 
it’s very hard to estimate how many will register on-site. So, it is highly 
recommended to register in advance. Your early registration will be beneficial 
to you and FOSS4G Seoul team as well. 

2. We’ll have Gala Dinner on 16th September(Wednesday), the first day of main 
conference. Please mark the date. The Gala Dinner is included in the full 3 
days registration fee, so all participants can enjoy the night with all other 
participants. This Gala Dinner will be co-hosted by FOSS4G Seoul and 
SmartGeoExpo. So, this will be your great chance to get along with other 
delegates from SmartGeoExpo event.

3. We’ll have Social Drinks on 17th September(Thursday) after completing full 
Thursday program. We will provide a couple of drinks(soda, water, beer, coffee, 
etc.,) with finger food at free at the lobby. This Social Drinks is sponsored 
by KRIHS(Korea Research Institute of Human Settlement). For more information 
about Social Events, please visit 
here:http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/social-events/ 
http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/social-events/ 

4. For the efficient communication, please subscribe mailing 
list(http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2015

During the session, we’ll talk about the adoptions/experiences of open source 
GIS in UN and developing countries. Also there will be panel discussions on how 
to utilise the open source GIS for the sustainable development.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Code of Conduct in Real Case

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

I’d like to report updates on our discussion. 

1. Regarding CoC offline discussion at FOSS4G Seoul, we may have discussion at 
BOF meeting[0]. I believe Jeff already marked the timeslot there on 16th 
September. If you need more timeslots, just add to the BOF wiki please. Also if 
you want have any BOF meeting during FOSS4G Seoul, please add your plan to the 
wiki page. 

2. I removed my controversial(?) presentation from the main page. I think it 
was too outdated and  not so attractive. It’s now time to promote through 
FOSS4G Seoul program itself. You may see new main page there[1]. 

Your attending and participation is very crucial to the success of FOSS4G 
Seoul. Please register FOSS4G 
Seoul(http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/ 
http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/) and meet up in Seoul 
altogether!!

All the best, 

Sanghee

 And I also agree with some advices that because my presentation was highly

 I think that OSGeo shall express and support a CoC that is respecting

 If something really bad happens than someone will take action based on the

 Do we really want to argue about the images and content of anyone

 shamed (see the article in Vanity Fair, titled ~ How Stack Ranking Killed 
 Innovation at Microsoft) and a new CEO (Satya Nadella, replacing Steve 
 Ballmer).
 
 There's also plain old bias.  This research by Google HR is fascinating:

[OSGeo-Discuss] Code of Conduct in Real Case

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

It’s now time to apply OSGeo CoC(Code of Conduct)[0] in real case. 

I was asked to remove a few slides from my presentation 7 Reasons why you 
should come to FOSS4G 2015 Seoul”[1], which is at the main page of FOSS4G 
Seoul, as being possibly offensive to women. Specifically to say, slide #6 
(nude female in painting) and slide #20 (row of female models) are those 
controversial ones. 

I refused this asking immediately because I don’t believe my presentation 
breach the OSGeo CoC and I don’t agree with that view. 

However since this is not the first time asking me to remove those slides from 
my presentation and OSGeo now have CoC, I think we’d better discuss this issue 
more openly to reach conclusions. 

I might be wrong and I’d like to hear other people’s opinion on this from all 
around the world. Also I expect Conference Committee’s input as well, because 
this is the matter of OSGeo conference. 

I’m open to remove/amend/keep those slides after hearing other people’s 
opinions on this. Also I believe it’ll be a great chance for OSGeo to learn how 
to apply CoC in real cases. 

*Sidenote for defending myself:
- Slide #6 is the part of Salvador Dali’s well known painting named “Lincoln in 
Dalivision”[2]
- Slide #20 is the picture of famous girl group, Girls’ Generation(SNSD)[3], 
which I believe as symbolic icon of wide spread of Korean culture(K-Culture) 
in/around Asia. 

All the best, 

Sanghee

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Code of Conduct in Real Case

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

One thing I could say about the controversial #6 slide is that that is exactly 
what Salvador Dali try to point out. I didn’t crop out the image intentionally 
for ‘commercial.’ Image in #6 can be found in internet as well as art history 
book. 

If you visited Dali Museum in Figueres, Spain and stood just in front of that 
painting, Dali’s ‘Lincoln in Dalivision’ just look like that, a nude female. 
However if you move back to 10~20 meters away from that, now you can realise 
the real meaning of that painting, that’s the portrait of Abraham Lincoln - the 
president of USA. 

I just used that image to stress the importance of long distance from the 
object or sometimes from the too experienced ordinary culture. 

I feel like this discussion is just like Dali’s painting. 

All the best, 

Sanghee

 Hi Sanghee,
 
 Thank you for taking this matter to the discuss mailinglist. My first 
 reaction when clicking the links from your post was, no problem, this is well 
 accepted from my european perspective and I do not directly see any offense 
 in them nor see any offense in other cultures. However, after looking at them 
 in context (in the slideshare presentation) this is my opinion.
 
 1. I don't understand the slides with the Dali painting. What do you want to 
 say with them? In my opinion they can be removed without downgrading the 
 presentation.
 
 2. In my opinion; the slide with the header Culture showing the row of 
 female models will bring a better message with another picture. Currently I 
 interpret this slide as: Come to Korea for the beautiful women and I 
 believe that is not the message you want to send under the header Culture.
 
 3. There are a few slides with a lot of prominently displayed alcoholic 
 drinks, in one slide, it even looks like a drinking game. There are a lot 
 of cultures that are offended by that too. Simply removing them, again, would 
 not make your presentation worse, it would make it stronger.
 
 Final thought:
 
 I agree with the request for removal/replacement but I think you should also 
 do something about the alcoholic drinks given this presentation holds a 
 prominent position on the main page for the foss4g event. This would make 
 your presentation stronger, because apart from this minor thing, it is an 
 interesting slideshow that has me interested in going to Seoul!
 
 So thank you for that!
 
 With respect, kind regards.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Code of Conduct in Real Case

[Sanghee Shin]

Hello Darrell,

I don’t think the reason why OSGeo has not so many women are caused by lacking 
of CoC in OSGeo. According to the statistics National Centre for Education 
Statistics[0], women have outnumbered men in American colleges for last 35 
years. However women just selected another jobs rather than programming or 
geospatial. It’s not our fault. I couldn’t recall any decisive moment that 
lacking of CoC in OSGeo excluded participation of female except recent comments 
from Kate. 

It’s very similar in Korea as well. More than 45% of college students are 
female. However they *DO* select another jobs instead of selecting programming 
or geospatial. That’s why only around 10% are female in Korean Chapter. It’s 
not because lacking of CoC. 

If we want to be a broad community, a global community, also truly reflective 
of the whole world, we’d better discuss how to effectively engage other 
members from 3rd countries or developing countries. Do you know people in Asia 
outnumber the other part of the world? Frankly to say I haven’t seen any much 
effort from OSGeo to try to engage members from developing countries. Ah.. we 
have travel grants once a year.  

You said, If our FOSS4G community does not reflect the entire world, then we 
are failing to engage all people, or worse, chasing some of them away.” Great! 
And then what is the real relation between your phrase and CoC. Do you really 
believe that imposing CoC automatically make OSGeo more welcomed organisation 
to 3rd countries or developing countries members? 

I feel that CoC is for white women in advanced countries. I know I might be 
wrong. However whenever we talk about CoC, it’s all about sexy image or 
something like that. It’s not about how to engage 2/3 of world population. 

All the best, 

Sanghee

 I’m not sure who the “we” you are referring to here is, but it certainly does 
 not include me.
 
 I am absolutely, 100%, interested in having more women become engaged in 
 FOSS4G.
 
 Please don’t make such sweeping generalizations.
 
 We are a broad community, a global community, but we are not truly reflective 
 of the whole world. We are largely white men from wealthy countries.
 
 I *want* people engaged and passionate about FOSS4G. And that means making 
 sure have a community where *everyone* feels welcome.  If our FOSS4G 
 community does not reflect the entire world, then we are failing to engage 
 all people, or worse, chasing some of them away.
 
 A CoC is not a sign that we are dying, a CoC is a sign that we acknowledge 
 that we are insufficiently inclusive, and that we as a community will not 
 stand for that. It’s a sign that says “We do not want behaviors that drive 
 people away, behaviors that make our community *smaller*. We are a welcoming 
 community and we want *you* to be part of it.”Is a CoC sufficient to create 
 that community? Absolutely not, but it’s a step forwards. A flag in the 
 ground — a flag that says, “We welcome you!”
 
 If we’re afraid of that, then we truly are a dying community, and one that 
 deserves to meet its quiet, irrelevant end.

 We are not interested in more women to become engaged in FOSS4G. We are 
 interested in people engaged and passionate about FOSS4G. We don't care 
 about the sex, the colour, the religious or the operating system. Why are we 
 interested specifically in more women?
 
 There is a large and growing business behind FOSS4G, which is an huge 
 accomplishment of FOSS4G, that we should care and maintain. It is ok to have 
 some grey people with a strange piece of cloth knotted at the throat 
 attending FOSS4G and moving around.

 Hi All,
 
 Thanks to the OSGeo Board for support for the Student Awards [1] at FOSS4G 
 conferences.
 
 So it is now time for us to take actions for the next steps to get this 
 started . It is important that we build strong foundations for this for 
 expanding this for the future.
 
 1. It is important that we start the discussions in an open mailling list 
 specifically for this, so that all ideas are saved for future conference 
 organisors and award committees. So may i request all chairs of FOSS4G 
 conferences and  also wider community members who have interest in the 
 Student awards initiative to subscribe and join the mailling list at 
 http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geoforall-awards
 
 2. I request the chairs of FOSS4G-Europe 2015 (Maria) 
 http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2015  and FOSS4G 2015 Seoul 
 (Sanghee) http://2015.foss4g.org/ to inform updates on the student awards 
 planned at their events and get in touch with the OSGeo Treasurer for the 
 $1000 USD allocation
 
 All- please give your ideas/suggestions to make this Student Award program a 
 great success.Thanks.

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2015 Call for Presentations/Papers/Workshops

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear all, 

The International FOSS4G(http://2015.foss4g.org/) organising committee is 
pleased to announce the Call for Presentations/Papers/Workshops for the 2015 
conference to be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea (September 14th – 19th). 

The annual International FOSS4G(Free Open Source SW for Geospatial) conference 
is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial solution. 
FOSS4G brings together developers, users, decision-makers and businessmen from 
a broad spectrum of organisations and fields of operation. Through six days of 
workshops, presentations, discussions and code sprint, FOSS4G participants 
create effective and relevant geospatial products, standards, human networks 
and business opportunities.

** Call for Presentations **
Deadline: 24th April

For complete details, please visit Regular Session CFP page, 
http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/presentations/ . 

After the deadline there will be a community voting mechanism to help select 
the final program. We expect we could have around 200 presentations during the 
conference showing the uses of open-source geospatial software in various 
fields and benefits of open-source geospatial software. We will be having 6~8 
parallel streams in a range of subjects from diverse fields. Each individual 
presentations will be allowed about 25 minutes and 5 minutes for QA.

** Call for Papers(Academic Track) **
Deadline: 24th April

For complete details, please see the Academic Track CFP 
(http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/academic-track/) . 

Your contributions will be reviewed (double-blind) by a committee of geospatial 
experts, who will assess the papers on originality and academic rigour, as well 
as interest for the wider FOSS4G community. Academic Committee will make 
efforts to get selected papers published in reputed academic journals.

And there will be “Student Awards” at the FOSS4G Seoul conference with 
contribution from GeoCat’s €1,500, OSGeo’s $1,000 and FOSS4G Seoul LOC’s 
$1,500. FYI, OSGeo will spend $10,000 for “Student Awards” at various FOSS4G 
events(i.e. local, regional) for the year. More details about “Student Awards” 
will be announced later.

** Call for Workshops ** 
Deadline: 23rd March

For complete details, please visit our Workshop 
page.(http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/workshop/)

Workshops are half(4 hours) or full-day(8 hours) hands-on experiences with 
participants following along with an instructor. Workshops will be run by 
experienced members of the open source community, and sometimes by the actual 
developers. As such, they are a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills or 
take your first steps into the world of Open Source GIS.

Workshops are a very popular part of FOSS4G, and demand always outstrips 
supply. We are looking for dynamic instructors on a variety of topics. 

** Call for Posters/Call for Maps **
Call for Posters/Maps will be announced later with details. 


We hope many proposals and submissions from all around the world. 

Best regards, 

Sanghee

[OSGeo-Discuss] Season's greetings from FOSS4G Seoul team

[Sanghee Shin]

Dear all, 

FOSS4G Seoul team wish all of you and your family have a healthy and peaceful 
new year. And we hope we could meet all of you in Seoul this September. 

At the beginning of 2015, I would like to recapitulate our last year's 
activities briefly. 

1. FOSS4G 2015 Seoul will be held at The-K Hotel, Seoul from 14th~19th, 
September. 

2. We opened FOSS4G 2015 webpage, http://2015.foss4g.org and Facebook, 
FOSS4G2015. Also took over Twitter account, @foss4g. Please like us and follow 
us. 

3. We printed some promotional stickers and distributed them. We still have 
bunch of stickers. Please don’t hesitate to ask stickers to us for distribution 
at your events. 

4. So far 2 key persons, president of NGII(Korea National Geographic 
Information Institute) and Chief of UN(United Nations) Cartographic Section, 
confirmed their keynote speaking at FOSS4G Seoul. We’re currently contacting 
other renowned person from various fields of open source geospatial area.  

5. We’ve got sponsorships from GeoCat(http://www.geocat.net), 
titellus(http://titellus.net/), and Camptocamp(http://www.camptocamp.com/). 
We’re expecting more sponsorship from all around the world. Also we’re 
currently under deep discussion with government agency in Korea about the major 
sponsorship and expecting some good news. 

FOSS4G Seoul will be very unique in terms of its location, culture, language, 
food and people. I hope all of you attend this unique event and feel 
difference. Sometimes you need to escape from your ordinary and routine life. 

For the success of FOSS4G 2015 Seoul, we definitely need your help  support. I 
would like to ask something to you.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Who do you want to meet as Keynote Speaker at FOSS4G 2015 Seoul?

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all, 

I've been very impressed with many recent discussions and debates on the future 
of OSGeo and FOSS4G. Also I was very pleased to see many announcements on next 
year's regional FOSS4G including FOSS4G Europe, NA and others. I think our 
community is growing and growing very fast!! 

Anyway one thing very clear is that International FOSS4G 2015 will be held at 
Seoul, South Korea next year. To make International FOSS4G 2015 Seoul 
successful one, the LOC is gearing up the preparation now. 

We, the LOC, believe that presence of wonderful speakers could attract more 
attendants not only from all around the world but also from Korea as well. 

So, why don't you suggest us any speakers you want to see or meet at FOSS4G 
2015 Seoul? If you suggest speakers with several lines of reasons of 
suggestion, that might be appreciated. 

After listing up your suggestions, we'll contact them one by one. You can 
suggest speakers through to my email (shs...@gaia3d.com) or to FOSS4G 2015 LOC 
mailing list(foss4g2015-priv...@lists.osgeo.org)

[OSGeo-Discuss] Seoul (South Korea) selected to host the 2015 international conference for Free Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G)

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all, 

Just like the announcement below, international FOSS4G 2015 will take place in 
Seoul, South Korea. 

Venue : COEX[0], Seoul, South Korea
Date : 14th ~ 19th, Sep, 2015. 

As chair of the LOC, I feel honored and excited about organizing international 
FOSS4G 2015 in Seoul for the first time in Asia. 

There are lots of reasons you should come to Seoul next year not limited to 
below.

First, you can meet differences. FOSS4G 2015 will be the first time event 
outside of Roman alphabet world. You may meet different language, culture, 
character and foods. These differences will inspire your imagination and 
creativity. Cultural diversities in OSGeo will eventually enrich the OSGeo 
structure and pipe the new fresh energy to OSGeo.

Second, you can see many business opportunities there in Asia. Asia will be the 
next big market to open source GIS professionals, users, and companies. For 
example, Korean government has just started new open source GIS RD project 
with a budget of USD 9.6M. And the market size of Asian economies already 
overwhelmed that of E.U. and U.S.A. and we’ve watched many emerging and vibrant 
FOSS4G activities in Asia. However this market is still untapped in terms of 
open source GIS. For this, we have a plan to organize ‘FOSS4G Asia Special 
Session'

Third, you can expect one-shot-two-kill by attending FOSS4G 2015 Seoul. FOSS4G 
2015 Seoul will be held in conjunction with Smart Geo Expo[1] at the same venue 
from 21st to 23rd, Sep. Smart Geo Expo is one of the largest international 
geospatial event in Asia. Last year, more than 80 companies  institutions 
including Samsung Electronics, Google, Sokkia, Trimble, Topcon, ESRI Korea, 
Leica exhibited their products there in Smart Geo Expo. And more than 10,000 
people visited exhibition booth and attended several seminars  conferences. 
International High-level(usually minister level) meeting is usually there. The 
awesome thing is that Smart Geo Expo is total FREE!

For the success of FOSS4G 2015 Seoul, we definitely need your help  support. I 
would like to ask something to you. 

At first, please share this info with others around you and create buzz!! 

Second, if you have any awesome idea to make FOSS4G 2015 Seoul an awesome one, 
don’t hesitate to contact me or the LOC. We created a dedicated list for the 
FOSS4G 2015 - foss4g2...@lists.osgeo.org and you can join this list through 
here [2].

Lastly please save and earmark some money for FOSS4G 2015 Seoul. 

You will never get disappointed. Hope to see all of you in Seoul next year.

Cheers, 

Sanghee

P.S.) I saw the news a few days ago that Gangnam Style got more than 2 billion 
views at YouTube. Do you know the venue of FOSS4G 2015 Seoul is located at the 
heart of Gangnam District, the hometown of Gangnam Style. Who knows you can 
come across Psy around venue next year? Ha.

 open source geospatial technologies.
 
 Sanghee Shin, CEO at Gaia3D and Representative of OSGeo Korean Chapter
 explained his motivations for leading Seoul¹s bid to make Seoul the
 starting point of a FOSS4G big bang extending the FOSS4G throughout the
 region via this conference. He said, ³When I tried to introduce Open
 Source GIS to South Korea in 2008, no one was willing to listen to my
 opinions. However five years later, the Korean government has recently
 launched a bid for an Open Source GIS RD project with a budget of USD
 9.5m. This means that that Open Source GIS is set to become a key part
 of the GIS landscape in South Korea. I¹m absolutely sure

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] What usually your local chapter exhibit in a conference?

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi Cameron,

Yepp. We'll attend GISAS conference as a exhibitor at 30, April. And we have
another plan to show ourselves to other GIS related conference before FOSS4G
2009. If you send postcards to us, that would be very nice.

Do you want my address?

regards,

 Sanghee,
 Is your event before FOSS4G in October? If so, I can organise to send you
 FOSS4G postcards to advertise FOSS4G.

 Alex covers most of my comments.

 Yves,
 Have you considered using the LiveDVD instead of a USB key? I suspect it
 would be cheaper. (at ~ $2 per DVD). You can also include all the data and
 programs you suggested on the DVD as well.

 Hi,

 Here some idea from the Francophone LC.
 In the past, we organised an OpenSource village inside a tradeshow with
 help of local company (c2c). We gave to visitors of the OSGeo-fr booth an
 USB key with OSGeo logo on the key and PDF flyer inside (in french). In the
 futur we plan to add some aplications via OSGeo4w and data (from
 OpenStreetMap).

 We organized in the Open Source village and outside some conferences,
 birds of feather, all kind of animation we can find in FOSS4G ;)

 Thank you very much, Alex.

 To get you started, you'll want to get an Exhibition Pack, these are the
 basic items to setup an exhibit.
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Exhibition_Pack

 You'll also want to make a wiki page for your event like:
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CGS_2008
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AAG_2009
 These pages will also give you an idea of what you can hand out and what
 to have at the booth.

 Next you'll want to print some materials, there's a whole bunch to
 choose from in the OSGeo svn.
 http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/
 You'll want to look in Marketing and maybe the Journal.

 At our latest event we ran a Live DVD for demo purposes but mostly
 handed out a general brochure and talked with people about what they do
 and what OSGeo software might be useful to them.
 In hindsite, we should of had a copy of the OSGeo Journal printed, and
 buttons would have been nice.

 Hope that's enough to get you started, you should probably have someone
 from your team join the marketing committee mailing list to talk about
 your event, ask questions and get some more ideas.

 Any help will be appreciated.

 Thanks in advance.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Please translate the FOSS4G 2009 description

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi,

I've just added korean translation there.

regards,

Sanghee

2009/3/3 Cameron Shorter cameron.shor...@gmail.com

 Thank you to everyone who has provided translations so far at:
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annonces_foss4g_fr

 We are getting a good coverage of the European languages now.
 I'd love to also see representation from our close neighbors as well. Are
 there people on this list from:
 PNG, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, China, Japan, ...

 I'm also interested to know of any local user communities and to hear
 suggestions on how to make FOSS4G attractive to your local region. If
 appropriate, we'd like to set up a specific stream of presentations or
 tutorials addressing specific needs of the Asia/Pacific region.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Successful FOSS4G use case needed especially in government sector

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all,

I'm Sanghee Shin from Seoul, Korea. I hope somebody remember me. I presented
activities of OSGeo Korean language L.C. to you at AGM this conference.

Anyway.. I was invited to a national research institute(KRIHS) in Korea
which supports policy making of Korean central government a month ago. There
I presented what is FOSS4G and how can it be used in government sector. The
mood was very good and they showed much interest in FOSS4G at that time.

However, frankly to say, almost all the Korean GIS market - especially in
government sector -  have beent dominated by proprietary s/w yet and KRISH
don't have enough courage to persuade central government to use FOSS4G at
this point. KRISH still have uncertainty and doubt on FOSS4G.

After coming back to my seat in my office from Cape Town, I got a phone call
from KRISH researcher. She said that she wanted to include those successful
case of FOSS4G use in another government into their report which should be
submitted to Korean central government. She added that FOSS4G could be a
good option for Korean government's next gis project. Since KRISH didn't
know much about FOSS4G in real case, they needed true proven case of FOSS4G
use in government sector.

Therefore I'm writting a letter to you to request your help. Please let me
know any successful case of FOSS4G in your country. Web site, implementation
history, your experiences... and kinds of materials will be useful to me.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. ) To market FOSS4G, how about creating a wiki page to collect those
kind of successful story of FOSS4G?

  The OSGeo AGM is comming up at FOSS4G 2008 and that means the AGM is on.
  Planning is being done on the wiki page
  (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2008) but so far it
  looks like there are not many projects or chapters being represented.
  I'm sure there are plenty of things that have happened over the last
  year, so if you'll be there could you please consider presenting a
  report (Please add your details to the wiki).  It doesn't need to be
  long.  Actually it needs to be short- about 3-5 mins or so.  The AGM
  will be held on Thursday, October 2nd after the closing plenary session.
