Hi George,<br>
I'm not sure if Andrea Ross (CCed) has been included in your
conversations to date? She coordinates LocationTech, the geospatial
arm of the Eclipse Foundation. I suspect you will find her both
interested and valuable in progressing your goals.<br>
<br>
I do like your goals of collaborating between open source
organisations related to geospatial. This happens to be at the core
of both the OSGeo Foundation and LocationTech as well.<br>
<br>
With regards to a summary of Open Source Geospatial, I suggest
looking at the OSGeo-Live presentation (with script):<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/">http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/</a><br>
It aims to be a lightening FOSS4G conference, covered in a 30 min
presentation.<br>
I'll leave it to you to distill further down to a one minute slide.
:)<br>
(You are free to copy or change the material as you see fit)<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron <br>

Cameron,

<div class="">Its good to hear of your cross community interest
for OSGeo. My abstract for the geospatial track of ApacheConf
suggests coordination between open source organizations working
on geospatial - based on the use of open standards. One aim I
have for the session is to identify project coordination actions
be undertaken after the conference.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If OSGeo sees opportunities for geospatial
application of Apache projects it would be most appropriate to
submit an abstract. </div>
<div class="">You can find the call for participation here: <a

<div class="">Be sure to put submit your abstract with a title of
this scheme: “Geospatial Track - [your title]” </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In any case, lets coordinate in advance of the May
conference, e.g., it would be good to include a slide in my
presentation summarizing the OSGeo projects.</div>

<div class="">Hi George,<br class="">
Following on from your suggestion of a geospatial
track at the Apache: Big Data North<br class="">
America, I expect you will find interest from the
OSGeo community to be involved (see below).<br
class="">
<br class="">
Please keep us in the loop with regards to your ideas,
and once consolidated, feel free to ask us how we
might want to contribute.<br class="">
<br class="">
I suspect may be people within the OSGeo community
with valuable case studies or ideas to include in your
proposed track.<br class="">
<br class="">
Also, I suspect there would be value for Big Spatial
data projects to align with the OSGeo foundation,
potentially being included as an OSGeo incubated
project, and tap into OSGeo marketing pipelines.<br

Warm regards, Cameron Shorter<br class="">

I recently bumped across this article about a

may be organised at apachecon.<br class="">
<br class="">
Maybe some people from OSGeo can reach out to them
and see if we can<br class="">
organise this together? And look for future
collaboration?<br class="">
