This is exactly what we are doing with OSGeo.BE.<br>
Last edition (Mar 2017) we attended BeGeo[1], an event where more than<br>
1000 GIS experts attend.<br>
In 2018 the event will be even attract more people. We want to have a<br>
booth there, and are also organising one of the 9 parallel tracks [2]:<br>
<br>
I suggested as the title of the track: How open collaboration can help<br>
geospatial intelligence to the next level?<br>
