<p>Guillermo,</p>
<p>If you wish to start with a presentation about the stack of open
source GIS software, you might want to draw upon the OSGeo-Live
presentation:</p>

Agree with that!<br>
<br>
Guillermo, best of luck for organizing FOSS4G-EC.<br>
Let us know if you need any help. You can also<br>
think of an wiki-page like our friends are done<br>
for FOSS4G-EU 2017 [1] and requesting for<br>
who maybe interested to join FOSS4G-EC to<br>
add their names to the wiki. Once the dates<br>
are fixed, you could send a upcoming event item for<br>
the OSGeo website [2].<br>
<br>
Best<br>
<br>
Venka<br>

Hi Guillermo!<br>
<br>
Great news about FOSS4G-Ecuador plans, this is
wonderful. There are very<br>
few limitations and rules for holding a FOSS4G in
your country, and that is<br>
why it has spread around the whole world so fast!
:) You should quickly<br>
purchase the domain <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://foss4g.ec" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank">http://foss4g.ec</a> and then
start thinking of your logo:<br>
really the only consistent part of FOSS4G (besides
the FOSS4G spirit) is the<br>
ribbon in the logo, which symbolizes sharing and
the flow of ideas and<br>
innovation in the community - check here for some
past ideas<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://foss4g.org"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://foss4g.org</a>
but there are many more out there. Another great
example<br>
is the FOSS4G-SOTM Argentina 2017 logo: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.foss4g-ar.org/"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.foss4g-ar.org/</a><br>
<br>
In terms of Latin America and FOSS4G, it is great
to see so many events<br>
popping up for 2017 (Argentina, Brazil,
Peru,...). I also try to help these<br>
events along, so I will be happy to join your
local committee meetings<br>
remotely and provide any help along the way - my
pleasure!<br>
<br>
So yes please share the FOSS4G spirit in Ecuador
and plant the seed for our<br>
future generations! :) Thank you Guillermo! (and
talk soon)<br>

Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
I have a question: If I want to organize "FOSS4G
in Ecuador" (latin<br>
american country), what I have to do? or who
should I speak with?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Guillermo Pizarro<br>
