Hi Maelle,<br>
<br>
Using the name "FOSS4G-Be" is no problem for activities related with
the promotion and use of FOSS4G software.<br>
In 2013 I organized the OSGeoGhent event [1] and wanted to organize
a second version in May this year.<br>
<br>
The Global FOSS4G conference will start next week in Portland [2],
so if you could provide more details later this week about the venue
and the right date, we can announce the event on the general
assemblee of OSGeo next week.<br>
<br>
Will the event be in English or in French?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Dirk Frigne<br>
<br>

<div>Dear,<br>
<br>
I am contacting you about the potential use of the name
“FOSS4G-Be” and about the participation of OSGeo-fr for a
future freeGIS day in Belgium (Website and Event):<br>
<br>
We want to organize a French OSGeo event (the so called
FOSS4G-Be) in early November 2014, in relation with the GIS
courses and masterclass held at the Université Libre de
Bruxelles, IGEAT research Unit:<br>
It will be a one day event. There will be a selection of
plenary communication related to free SIG use in public or
private environment and 2 or 3 practical workshops.<br>
<br>
This event will cover the following 3 topics:<br>
<br>
1) FOSS4G tools/software: Establishment/creation or storage of
infrastructure and web sharing of spatial data<br>
2) Data & Services: Presentation on the freely available
data and services<br>
3) Applications: use of Open GIS (also with guest speakers
from the South)<br>
<br>
<br>
Would you be willing to support us and work together on this
project and could we use the name “FOSS4G-Be”?<br>
<br>
Could the event be co-organized by the ULB and OSGeo-fr?<br>
If so, it would be nice to have an OSGeo-fr stand with a
representative of the association and of its activities (as
well as a plenary presentation if you are interested in).<br>
<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me if you have questions or if you would
like to share your suggestions.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your reply,<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
