Sounds like you may be happy then. Talks on OSGeo projects and initiatives are welcome & encouraged independent of sponsorship. For the record projects and initiatives from OGC, Apache, OSM, Mozilla, unaffiliated, and others are welcome & encouraged too. <br>
<br>
The tour is open to all.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">I've just referred back to our osgeo priorities, to see if this type of <br />sponsorship fits:<br /><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_of_Directors#Support_initiatives_which_support_themselves">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_of_Directors#Support_initiatives_which_support_themselves</a><br />If OSGeo were to be sponsoring, I'd be hoping that OSGeo would have the <br />opportunity to have greater visibility than a logo in a sponsors page. <br />If local OSGeo talent can be drawn upon to provide a presentation, or <br />man a booth or similar, I'd consider that to be the value that we would <br />be looking for.<br /><br />Andrew, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that topic.<br /><br />On 12/06/2014 4:48 am, Jeff McKenna wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi Anne, Andrew, all,<br /><br /> I really feel the local community is so important, so these<br
/> mini-conferences or regional events are the lifeline of our community.<br /> I am all for sponsoring this and other smaller events. I'd like us to<br /> be more open to spending on these type of smaller events. (I try to<br /> attend as many smaller events as I can) I'm a strong +1<br /><br /> -jeff<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> On 2014-06-11, 8:42 AM, Anne Ghisla wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #ad7fa8; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello all,<br /><br /> LocationTech Tour 2014 has already started, and is today in<br /> Geneva: <a href="http://tour.locationtech.org/2014">http://tour.locationtech.org/2014</a>/<br /><br /> Last year's 6 event tour drew 723 people and received much positive<br /> feedback.
