[OSGeo-Discuss] Public money, public code campaign

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi Jody,

thank you, just added to the agenda. Indeed I think this aims at being a
global initiative rather than limited to Europe only. I have seen
signatures from countries all over the world, as well as support from
international organizations based outside Europe. I  think that OSGeo
should support this campaign to remark that supports the principle, as in
this phase no political action is entailed. Local chapters as well should
sign and, if any, take further political actions when the times come. In
fact I have forwarded this also to the Italian local chapter and I invite
all the community to do the same to your own local chapters.

Thanks
