Dear colleagues, On behalf of Geo4All we would like to welcome you to the "Open Geospatial Science & Applications" webinar series. Thanks to Dr. Rafael Moreno and colleagues at University of Colorado Denver for organising the Geo4All webinar series. If you are interested to do a webinar for

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Incubator] Should OSGeo accept "benevolent dictator" projects into OSGeo?

I found this nice description of the benevolent dictator governance: http://oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/benevolentdictatorgovernancemodel It's a nice read, but I want to highlight this part: > In many ways, the role of the benevolent dictator is less about > dictatorship and more about diplomacy.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Requesting services for librttopo

Probably, a cross reference of mailing lists, dns entries and current projects should give us a list of potential "Community Projects". This is the new name for pre-incubation stuff? Thanks, Alex On 05/02/2016 12:00 PM, Jody Garnett wrote: > I would ask if the project would consider joining

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Requesting services for librttopo

I would ask if the project would consider joining OSGeo as a community project ? This requirement is minimal, we want some assurance that your project is both open source and open to collaboration. Alex - are their any other projects we

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Incubator] Should OSGeo accept "benevolent dictator" projects into OSGeo?

Since this particular topic is a hard discussion (with a projects status in our community on the line) I do not wish to replay it for an audience. OSGeo as an organization is responsible for fostering projects; working through these issues needs to be supportive. In incubation we try and tackle

Before commenting further I suggest to put the paragraph that is being discussed on top of the email - benevolent dictator sounds much worse than what is being proposed. The Governance model includes a statement: "In all issues, the PSC strives to achieve unanimous consent based on a free,

[OSGeo-Discuss] Requesting services for librttopo

Hi all, this mail is to request permission to use the download area of OSGeo for publishing librttopo packages, and possibly an rttopo.osgeo.org domain and webspace. The librttopo project consists of a GPL(v2+) licensed library providing a standard-based topology API on top of user-provided

Hi Jody and others, Apart from the discussion here at this list, this might be a nice subject for a "topic talk" (a discussion on a specific theme) in August at FOSS4G in Bonn. If annybody is willing to take the lead in this, we (=the Bonn LOC) can see if we can fit this in the program)
