Yes, thanks. In order to avoid possible misunderstanding better to use geospatial database.

Oggetto: Re: [Board] Italian Project

One small clarification, the "geodatabase to be published by free and open source tools".

Can we avoid the words geodatabase, although it is a descriptive name - it is also the name of a proprietary file format.

OSGeo may also wish to revise the above to be limited to "open-source" tools - we are an advocate for software libre after all (Just being free is not enough).

Dear OSGeo Board Members
together with colleagues of other italian universities we are writing a proposal in answering the current call of the Italian Ministry of University. We are proposing a reseach based of urban geo big data (abstract attached).

The units involved are:
Politecnico di Milano (PI) Maria Brovelli
Politecnico di Torino, Piero Boccardo
La Sapienza University Rome, Mattia Crespi
Padua University, Francesco Pirotti
CNR, Riccardo Lanari
ISPRA, Michele Munaf?
The project is based on open data and open GIS software. I wonder if, as OSGeo, you may/want to provide an endorsement letter.
In case, I'm attaching a draft where simply you say that the project is of interest. Obviously feel free to modify or add what you want.
The deadline for me to receive such a letter is December 18th.

Many thanks! Have a lovely week end.
Maria
