Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open Principles in Education

Reviewing your slides can I ask you to expand your scope with some aspect about participating in the open source community. This year the fashionable way to phrase this as "sustainable open source" (without participation open source as a software development model is not sustainable, under cutting

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

I have my "welcome " talk which covers what we do around here (open data, open standards, open source, open collaboration). Open data is a big part of what makes this community awesome. That said OSGeo originally had open data

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

I think there is a very strong connection to make between open-source and open data. Open Data is a broad concept that really means "access to data". Access is more than just a download, or a license - it also means having the tools and methods available for everyone to turn the data into

Sanghee, Schuyler Erle's lightening talk at FOSS4G 2008 About the Need For Free and Open Source Data was one of the most talked about presentations at the time: http://nijel.org/blog/71 On 17/10/2016 2:08 PM, Sanghee Shin wrote: Dear all, Can anybody share presentation file about the

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Jachym, I think it is better to confirm before attributing statements to someone. Nobody in his right mind would want Open data out of OSGeo and least of all Jeff. Yes, we must find a way to reactivate the Public Geodata committee. Perhaps renaming it as Open Geodata committee would be a

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Hi Sanghee, I know that Codrina Maria Ilie[1] has focused on promoting Open Data, and has given some great talks at past FOSS4G events. She has also been the chair of the open data track for many events. I see her as an OSGeo leader in open data, and she would have so many presentations to

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Hi, Open Geospatial Data, leads to transparency in civil administration. As seeing is believing. In India we recently avoided a legislation that was in essence curtailing Freedom in Geospatial data.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Yes indeed, we are on the same team here. Since you mentioned my name, I tried very hard to make relationships with so many communities (remember, at some point I was told that OSGeo was being too inclusive, reaching out to too many groups); so it is hard to please everyone. For sure there

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Hi Jachym, I have given talks on OSGeo and open data. I am sorry to hear that you believe I said that about the foundation. I do believe we've discussed this in face-to-face board meetings before, so maybe that is where you heard this? I remember a discussion of adding open data into our

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Hey Jachym, maybe that was a misunderstanding. Yes, OSGeo focuses on software but we also have an official geodata committee (sometimes called Public Geodata, sometimes Open Geodata): http://www.osgeo.org/content/projects/geodata.html It is not active currently but there have been some activities

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Hi Jachym, Apologies if i do not correctly understand the context/background of the discussion. In my humble opinion, OSGeo is software foundation but very much involved in open standards, open data etc hence we have MoU with OGC etc . We should not have silo approach. Openness is key.
