[FOSS4G2016] FOSS4G 2016 Poster

Tue Nov 10 11:52:27 PST 2015

Hi Volker, 

Two thoughts: 
1) it's 6 hours and 40 minutes since you posted this initial version. Please give this list some more time to have a look at it and give some comments.
2) could you somehow fit the "Building Bridges" tagline into the design? 
I know, not an easy one, cause it's more than just putting an image of the Bonner Kennedy Bridge / London's Tower Bridge / Golden Gate Bridge etc. on top of the current design. 
In fact, the message might even be 2-folded: 1) building bridges from FOSS4Geospatial to other groups/users/communities. 2) using geospatial as the cement to connect different sorts of information.

Think it over, because I realize I'm about to turn this into a mission impossible ;-)

regards, 

GJ

Hi list,

thank you for the comments.

we'll develop a new version of the poster in compliance of your comments within the next days.
Hopefully, we can show the poster in Essen during the FOSS4G Hacking Weekend.

Best regards

Volker
