Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Dear all Still i don't understand why LocationTech is pressing so much for collaborating with osgeo, or share events at least. I've never see this from ogc, apache, ICA or any other organization which has his own habitat. When you create LT you decided to build up your way from scratch, so why not

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Jeff, For what it's worth, I think it's great you shared your vision. If you don't mind me saying so, it is important and belongs it a dedicated thread IMHO. You commented on why was LocationTech created rather than within doing what it does more tightly within OSGeo. This is important for p

Jeff, Many thanks for the great job you are doing in representing OSGeo with selfless dedication and for sharing your vision with all of us. I wish you great fun and safe travel for representing OSGeo at the GISConf in Moscow [1] that is coming up this weekend. Best Venka [1] http://gisconf.r

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your thoughts and words, I appreciate the effort you put into explaining yourself. I wanted to clarify one point, based on this text: > I have followed the development of that organization right from the beginning, where they smartly filled a void by aiming at the business/co

Hi Cameron, Thank you for this message. I too think it will help, and am going to print it out now to see it and think on it more. I think there are lots of parts that can be edited and changed, and analyzing if a vision fits the organization, fits a situation, and maybe can explain why some

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Hi Andrea, I have no doubt that you mean well. I hope that maybe seeing my vision for OSGeo, will help explain myself. I feel that OSGeo and LocationTech are in fact different, especially in their visions (which would likely be why LocationTech was formed initially, I imagine there was a goo

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Hi Jeff, Thanks for articulating your vision. I anticipate it will be very useful in moving forward, and will help provide a basis from which the OSGeo community and board can contribute to and build into a collective vision, and then extend into a practical implementation of it. Warm regards

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Dear Massimiliano, Your opinion matters a great deal. I don't know if you realized: what you have suggested should be, is pretty much what is the case. Let me explain to hopefully show this is so. This is all covered in the FAQ

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

Andrea Nevertheless in my simple and neligible opinion and understanding OSGeo never wanted to organize any apache event. If valuable OSGeo members want to host and organize foss4g they can certainly do in their name or in the name of their local chapters leaving out LocationTech from the bussines

Hi Yves, In the past there has been support (at board level) to pay for printing of USBs/DVDs, but there hasn't been a volunteer ready to write a proposed process and for processing payment requests. If you can find someone willing to administer OSGeo-Live funding requests, I expect you will
