<div>Dear Venka</div>
<div>I have a EU project (gicases), where Dirk is also involved, about co-creation of knowledge between academy and enterprises. This is the website </div>
<div>http://www.gicases.eu/ </div>
<div>We are using open source software for collaboration and the project is specifically on GIS, even if it could be extended in other domain. </div>
<div>In the past we had similar experiences of co-creative education. </div>
<div>Another example can be the UN OpenGIS project where Academia (GeoGorAll) and Companies (and Public Agencies as well) are collaborating all together. </div>
<div>I agree with Jody that the available budget matters and weigths both on academia and company side. </div>
<div>Then, in my opinion, academia should deal more with new solutions and prototypes than to commercializing standard tools.</div>
<div>The problem is that very often academia is poor (there are few funds) and people have you do everything to let young PhDs or research assistents to be paid... But this is an old history that you know well.</div>
<div>Best!</div>

Oggetto: Re: [Board] About presentation at GWF-2017 <br>
<br>
<div>That sounds fun:<br>
<br>
A) whoever has the budget commitment ... this is about sustainability right :)<br>
B) like how financial support was assumed, call them on that ... From an OSGeo perspective both academia and industry can collaborate on software, as enabled by selection of open source licence and appropriate governance structure (so think partnership rather
than "lead" as in (a) above<br>
C) what is conservative with respect to commercialization? Like they want to keep it close and use patents to treat industry like a profit Center (hard to argue against if that is institution policy) or they want low risk of having a vendor (easy to argue against)<br>
D) ...<br>
<br>
What are your plans for FOSS4G Asia? Are you speaking, are your travel plans covered, etc...<br>
