Thank you for your information.<br>
Great to promote Open Source GIS tools, software and Data.<br>
<br>
What I miss in the program is a presentation about OSGeo. OSGeo-fr
should be able to give such a presentation. <br>
In 15 minutes you can already give a good overview on the
organisation and the way it is active on a global base.<br>
<br>
Just my 2c. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

November
6, 2014<br>
Université Libre de Bruxelles<br>
<br>
The Institute of
Environmental Management and Spatial Planning (IGEAT) of
the Free
University of Brussels (ULB) and OSGeo-fr are organising
the
BE-OpenGIS-FR on November 6, 2014 at the ULB.<br>
<br>
This day of
conferences and practice sessions (in French) is aimed at
anyone
using free and open source GIS tools in their professional
life or
studies. We hope to gather together those scientists,
administrations, private companies and interested
individuals using
and/or developing these tools, or just being curious about
them.<br>
<br>
The
first part of the day will cover three topics in the form
of
presentations:<br>
<br>
1) State and perspectives of public OpenData in
the three Belgian regions and in Africa<br>
<br>
2) Presentation of
some selected free and open source tools in GIS including
the
possibilities of integrating them into existing
proprietary
infrastructures<br>
<br>
3) Examples of concrete applications using
free and open source GIS tools<br>
<br>
Presenters come from
administrations, private companies and academics active in
the
field.<br>
<br>
The second part of the day is dedicated to practical
workshops and demonstrations on topics such as<br>
<br>
- Using QGIS to
create your customized, tailor-made application<br>
- Spatial analysis
and cartography with R<br>
- A toolchain for putting your maps on the
Web<br>
- Advanced spatial analysis with GRASS 7<br>
<br>
The aim of the
day is to inform and promote, but also to discuss current
issues and
needs as well as reflect on the opportunity of building up
a
community of FOSS-GIS users and contributors in Belgium.<br>
<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>

<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>
