[OSGeo-Discuss] What Open Government can learn from us Open Source folks

The Australian Government has asked for feedback on how they are going at Open Government, and I've started a draft response. I'm really keen to make sure that this response is well constructed because I think that if listened to, understood, and acted upon, then we can make a huge difference t

Arnulf, Personally, I'm annoyed with that response - I was halfway through responding and you've articulated my personal thoughts in a much more concise and good manner - thank you!! :-) All, I would request people to engage as much as possible at this years (and subsequent years!) FOSS4G. We ha

Hi Stefano, It is hard to add points here that aren't covered by the responses from all of the community leaders speaking here (even just considering everyone's backgrounds who are speaking here is quite fascinating, and a great sign of our passion for FOSS4G). I only want to encourage this

Folks, we have seriously discussed this over and again to the point of boredom. Still, I am happy that the topic comes up again and again because it shows that people are alert. Good. Having said that, we need to be as precise as possible in our terms and definitions. Every now and then this blurs

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

Stefano, certainly you are NOT the only one. In the past I have expressed my concern about this fact. It's as if Monsanto were sponsoring an organic food event. I don't think ESRI (or Google or IBM or others) approaches OSGeo innocently. This approach should make OSGeo more alert. And distrust t
