Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Hi Jeff, Venka, Jody, Rob, Thanks for initiating this discussion and starting to put ideas out for public discussion. Jeff, Venka, I get the impression from your emails that you are concerned that LocationTech might "steal" community mind-share, and in particular take control of key OSGeo

A few comments inline, the OSGeo board has a face to face meeting coming up (so until that time take my comments here as my viewpoint). On 12 November 2015 at 20:04, Cameron Shorter wrote: > Hi Jeff, Venka, Jody, Rob, > > Thanks for initiating this discussion and

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Thanks Jeff or this mail. It explains a lot to me and confirms my vision of the situation. As a board member i suggest not to have any official relationship with LocationTech untill the f2f board meeting. There we could discuss a lot of topics and come out with official positions and view. Maxi

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Hi Cameron, I am also glad to speak of this publicly, this is a very important topic. I have been thinking more and more about Rob's response (thank you so much Rob for taking the time to speak with me on that). I will speak honestly here again, and I don't mean to offend: I am now left

Jeff, It is really hard to discuss this topic because you make stuff up. The concerns stem from the fantasy rather than reality. The FAQ produced recently does a pretty good job covering the

[OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

I have not done the best at communicating lately, here is a write up from a fun event held last month in victoria - http://www.how2map.com/2015/10/locationtech-tour-2015.html A really positive mix of OSGeo and LocationTech projects. In many cases this event was the first introduction to open

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

Hi Rob, Thanks for this explanation. I can tell you that talking with you has helped, and also that just now the OSGeo Board has agreed to talk about building this LocationTech relationship, at our next face-to-face meeting at the end of January. This is excellent news. These relationships

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

Hi Jeff, I'm sorry to hear you are being bullied in private messages. It is perhaps best to bring in the Code of Conduct committee to help handle this; direct threats and private bulling tactics seem in violation with the CoC, and there should be steps taken to ensure that our community doesn't

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

Hi Rob, Thank you for your very thoughtful response. You summarize the situation very well. I think talking openly like this on this topic, is the only way to make this all work. It sounds like I am wrong about LocationTech's goals; at the same time then, if that is the case, that

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

Hi Jeff, You are right, commercial-friendliness certainly does play a part in LocationTech. The way I've seen that enacted is by the use of the Eclipse Foundation's legal department to ensure that the projects which are supported by LocationTech are declared by a legal team to be free of

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

Certainly. Last year Rob (who is new to our open source community) volunteered to chair foss4gna. I think it is amazing when we have volunteers, especially when they are new to the community. Indeed my first response is to be careful that in their enthusiasm a new volunteer does not take on too

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fun Event in Victoria with mix of OSGeo/LocationTech projects

I am glad this thread is encouraging communication. As stated at the start I would like to do a better job of communication on this one. I guess I can start by saying the two organizations have a much stronger relationship than a Memorandum of Understanding. A MoU is often the first stage of a
