Good questions/discussion: Going to chime in as I enjoy both working with OSGeo incubation and LocationTech. I am a couple timezones west of Daniel but sleep is on the horizon. TLDR: I am not 100% positive of either organisation, which is why I am trying to make them better. -- Jody Garnett On S

I can speak to this from the perspective of the lead of an open source geospatial software project (GeoTrellis) in the process of LocationTech incubation. The legal team at eclipse is currently going through our code and dependencies, making sure our code is legally licensed. This is a solid che

As you said the final goal is the same: open source Geospatial software affirmation. And this is the best thing I can wish to all of us. Nevertheless what I just have not clear is: what location teach do differently with respect to osgeo? does it somehow overlap with incubation or not? What are th

Thanks for letting us/me know about this plan Claude, it is really wonderful that you are planning a 10-year FOSS4G reunion event in Lausanne. I encourage all communities that are thinking of hosting 2016 to begin preparing their bids, and we will make sure to get the 2016 bid out shortly. T

FWIW I'm happy to hear that there was such a face to face discussion. I believe that open communication on the issues will be the best way to address the fears and find ways to move forward in the best interest of the overall worldwide community of people, businesses, institutions, etc who have

Dear Jachym, Everyone Just a few quite thoughts. I encourage anyone who has concerns, or fears anything resembling a take-over to please speak up on the list, off-list with any other person from OSGeo & me, or even just me in private. We, people involved with both OSGeo & LocationTech, have b

Guys, as long as I understand it: "some members of the community" are scared of LocationTech "taking over" whatever (FOSS4G conference, OSGeo projects and community). This can be based on real action, taken on either site, unofficial statement, misunderstandings or personal dislikes. Yesterday, w
