Folks,
this is another typical request I receive these days and I would like
to be able to send out a more or less generic answer. Can you please
help me how to address this?

Some interesting ideas have been floated on this list in the past
weeks which we should now start to flesh out and make more concrete.
This Committee [0] is the right place to do this. Anybody interested
in taking the lead on this? The last committee meeting appears to have
been on 2008-12-15 [1] and we are still short of a committee chair!

Cheers,
Arnulf

Hi!


I work as a GIS-analyst [snip]. I use a lot of
FOSS-GIS in my daily work, and try to continually expand that use as
well. I also try to convince peers in other municipalities of the
advantages in using software like QGis.

As such, I was very interested in the FOSS4G 2012 event in China.
However, as you and others have pointed out, getting financing for
attendance is not possible now due to lack of information and so on.



However, you also say that you “…believe we must make clear that this is
not going to be ‘the’ global meeting of the tribes.”

Do you think that there will be A ‘gathering of the tribes’ this year?

Are there regional events to look into instead perhaps (I sadly
discovered the one in Prague too late)?



I hope that I’m not bothering you with these questions.



Thank you for your time!



Best regards,
