My point is simply it's a joint FOSS4G and State of the Map, and the OpenStreetMap talks, workshops, community day shouldn't need to be strictly free and open source (of course, it's nicer if they are, but I and other people coming from the SotM side are likely still interested in hearing about commercial and proprietary things which are happening with OSM).

We are not only OS – we are also FREE. So maybe the tools are free to use?

Good point Andrew!



My take on it is that the primary message of the workshop/presentation would hopefully focus on geospatial open source/open data, OSM etc. But, if it contains content related to proprietary software that should be OK. I have definitely been thinking there would be an audience for 'hybrid' solutions, possibly even could be a focused session on day 2 for OZRI attendees to check out (another conversation for later?).



I'd certainly be in favour of observing the 'open minds' philosophy when we do our selections.
