[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

[María Arias de Reyna]

When people ask me how should they start on the GIS world, I always give
them two advices:

 * Check OsGeo.
 * Read the Libro Libre de SIG Libre[1] (only Spanish, translations
accepted)

If OsGeo disappeared, someone should invent it.

Which doesn't mean it is the only way to achieve the same goals. For
example, in Spain we have the geoinquietos (georestless) local groups which
work somehow independently from OsGeo. But most of the people are the same
in both groups, it is just that using our own "brand" allows us to do
things more freely (talking about data instead of software, talking about
privative resources, talking about geocaching, just take some
geobeers,...). But we always go back to OsGeo as the reference.
