<p>Hi,</p>
<p>other option is to accept OSGeo projects only. But I am also fine
with a booth accepting companies involved in Open Source projects
and to label this initiative "Open Source Geospatial for INSPIRE"
or so.</p>

<p>HI,</p>
<p>Dirk and I discussed this issue yesterday after our meeting
with the Copernicus Support Office. I also think, that this is
very in our scope, but I see potential conflicts, if we name the
booth "OSgeo booth" and then there are companies exhibiting. The
question is, who decides on which company is allowed to be on
thebooth and which not? WOrst case would be, that pure
proprietary companies show up and want to hiere a desk on the
booth.<br>
</p>
<p>We had a similar experience with InterGEO, where we had the
"Open SOurce Parc" and - maybe also because of lack of interest
of several Open Source companies (including terrestris ;-)),
exhibitors arised, that you never heard in the context of Open
Source and took a desk on this booth.</p>
<p>My proposal is to name it "Open Source Geospatial Booth" (or
whatever), but to have one OSgeo-desk on the booth. <br>
</p>
<p>Just m 2 cents. <br>
</p>
<p>In general: Agree totally with Jachym.</p>
