Thanks Jody. That is excellent. This synergies now expanding with like minded communities (Open Education, Open Data, Open Standards ) has created huge momentum for us. We need to further build upon and expand these ideas for the future.<br>

Best wishes,<br>

<br>
Great timing, I have just finished collecting those ideas for the website/rebranding push.<br>
<br>
Open Geospatial<br>
<br>
OSGeo is pleased to be at the forefront of the shift towards open geospatial:<br>
<br>
* Open Source: securing a collaborative approach to software development.<br>
* Open Data: providing freely available information to use as you wish.<br>
* Open Standards: enabling interoperable software to avoid lock-in.<br>
* Open Education: removing the barriers to learning and teaching.<br>
<br>
Together these approaches define a new way of addressing the world's needs. OSGeo is pleased to celebrate our partners and friends shaping this future.<br>
<br>
(Insert partner logos here, and friends such as OSM)<br>
<br>
I hope that helps? I like that we are hitting the same ideas / concepts.<br>
<br>

Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
This is a request for help as I need inputs from the wider community to get more ideas for my presentation at FOSS4G-Europe 2017 later this month.<br>
<br>
My keynote presentation will be on “The future of Geo is Open” and I would like to invite ideas/inputs for this. It is also an good time to reflect on the developments in Open Geospatial Science [1],[2],[3] as it is over a decade now since we started working
on the philosophy of Openness in Geospatial Science and Education.<br>
<br>
I am looking forward to discussing new ideas with you all at FOSS4G-Europe 2017.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
