Board,
we will have the Geospatial World Forum 2012 in Amsterdam and Geospatial
Media would like to partner with us in organizing the Open Source track.
There already is a first draft of the brochure [1] (6MB which is why I
did not attach it). Basically a link swap and that we make sure that the
folks presenting in the Open Source track actually know what they are
doing. I am in for it and would also help do the work but wanted to ask
whether you are fine with this too. They would become kind of a media
partner. I put it on the agenda.

Best regards,
Arnulf

Dear Arnulf,

Thank you for the prompt and positive response. We have two separate
Seminars at the Geospatial World Forum on Open Source and NextGen
Standards and Interoperability. I recommend you participate and partner
with us for the Seminar on Open Source. As a Seminar partner, we would
like OS Geo to help us identify and encourage its members and network of
professionals to participate at the Seminar and present papers and help
us reach out to maximum professionals by promoting the conference for
us. In return, we would be pleased to offer OS Geo branding of Strategic
Institutional Partners with logo on brochure and all marketing
collaterals and a complementary registration for the conference. For
your reference, I am attaching the brochure of the conference with this
email, which outlines the details of both Seminars on Open Source and
NextGen Standards and Interoperability.

I look forward to hearing your views.

Kind regards,
Megha

Dear Megha,
I was requested by Steven Ramage wrt an Open Source track and that OGC
people were invited to speak there. I am now somewhat confused as to
what you are planning - OGC and OSGeo are quite different things.

Additionally I wanted to ask, what you have already planned wrt to how
you will address Open Source in Europe because it is a much bigger topic
here than in Asia. Let me know if I can help.


Best regards,
Arnulf
