6, 2014<br>Université Libre de Bruxelles<br><br>The Institute of
Environmental Management and Spatial Planning (IGEAT) of the Free
University of Brussels (ULB) and OSGeo-fr are organising the
BE-OpenGIS-FR on November 6, 2014 at the ULB.<br><br>This day of
conferences and practice sessions (in French) is aimed at anyone
using free and open source GIS tools in their professional life or
studies. We hope to gather together those scientists,
administrations, private companies and interested individuals using
and/or developing these tools, or just being curious about them.<br><br>The
first part of the day will cover three topics in the form of
presentations:<br><br>1) State and perspectives of public OpenData in
the three Belgian regions and in Africa<br><br>2) Presentation of
some selected free and open source tools in GIS including the
possibilities of integrating them into existing proprietary
infrastructures<br><br>3) Examples of concrete applications using
free and open source GIS tools<br><br>Presenters come from
administrations, private companies and academics active in the
field.<br><br>The second part of the day is dedicated to practical
workshops and demonstrations on topics such as<br><br>- Using QGIS to
create your customized, tailor-made application<br>- Spatial analysis
and cartography with R<br>- A toolchain for putting your maps on the
Web<br>- Advanced spatial analysis with GRASS 7<br><br>The aim of the
day is to inform and promote, but also to discuss current issues and
needs as well as reflect on the opportunity of building up a
community of FOSS-GIS users and contributors in Belgium.<br><br>For
more information contact Moritz Lennert (<a href="mailto:moritz.lennert@ulb.ac.be" target="_blank">moritz.lennert@ulb.ac.be</a>).<br>A
website will be up and running soon at <a href="http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/" target="_blank">http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/</a>.</font></font></p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent"><font face="Arial, serif"><font style="font-size:9pt"><br></font></font></p>

Hi Maelle,<br>
<br>
Using the name "FOSS4G-Be" is no problem for activities related with
the promotion and use of FOSS4G software.<br>
In 2013 I organized the OSGeoGhent event [1] and wanted to organize
a second version in May this year.<br>
<br>
The Global FOSS4G conference will start next week in Portland [2],
so if you could provide more details later this week about the venue
and the right date, we can announce the event on the general
assemblee of OSGeo next week.<br>
<br>
Will the event be in English or in French?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Dirk Frigne<br>
<br>

<div>Dear,<br>
<br>
I am contacting you about the potential use of the name
“FOSS4G-Be” and about the participation of OSGeo-fr for a
future freeGIS day in Belgium (Website and Event):<br>
<br>
We want to organize a French OSGeo event (the so called
FOSS4G-Be) in early November 2014, in relation with the GIS
courses and masterclass held at the Université Libre de
Bruxelles, IGEAT research Unit:<br>
It will be a one day event. There will be a selection of
plenary communication related to free SIG use in public or
private environment and 2 or 3 practical workshops.<br>
<br>
This event will cover the following 3 topics:<br>
<br>
1) FOSS4G tools/software: Establishment/creation or storage of
infrastructure and web sharing of spatial data<br>
2) Data & Services: Presentation on the freely available
data and services<br>
3) Applications: use of Open GIS (also with guest speakers
from the South)<br>
<br>
<br>
Would you be willing to support us and work together on this
project and could we use the name “FOSS4G-Be”?<br>
<br>
Could the event be co-organized by the ULB and OSGeo-fr?<br>
If so, it would be nice to have an OSGeo-fr stand with a
representative of the association and of its activities (as
well as a plenary presentation if you are interested in).<br>
<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me if you have questions or if you would
like to share your suggestions.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your reply,<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
