[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo/LocationTech relationship

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Andrea
Nevertheless in my simple and neligible opinion and understanding OSGeo
never wanted to organize any apache event.

If valuable OSGeo members want to host and organize foss4g they can
certainly do in their name or in the name of their local chapters leaving
out LocationTech from the bussines. If LT want to be at the osgeo event
they can send proposal and see if they will be accepted and then they are
always welcome as a sponsor.

If we can see that "osgeo" and LT are "sister" organizations then LT could
also have a free both and be listed as partner along with other
organizations.

Otherwayaround why LT does not organize its own event and then let it be
organized by osgeo?

Regards
Massimiliano
