[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

+1 (for ‘not the only one’)
It is good to receive support, I am not contesting that.
But this issue seems worthy of considered discussion.
Even OGC receives considerable funding from ESRI, further complicating the issue.

P.S.: Curious, was the Lidar compression ‘open standard’ issue ever resolved?

Thank you for your quick reply,  Maria.
This is certainly my mistake, since I had not noticed it.
But apart from that, am I the only one feeling that this sponsorship is not exactly 'normal'?

Dear Stefano, this is not a novelty. It happened also in the previous years (see the websites of the conferences).

Best,

Maria

Hi,
I see ESRI is one of the sponsor of FOSS4G 2018.
Do the OSGeo Board and Local Committee think it is appropriate?
Our Romans ancestors used to say: 'Pecunia non olet' (money don't smell) but sometimes...

Thank you for your reply

Stefano Campus
