[FOSS4G2016] adjacent communities

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl]

Till, Marc, 

Till has got contact with the Drupal community, whereas as few weeks ago Marc told me he's in contact with the Typo3 community (@Marc: wasn't that the German type3 community).
Hope the 2 of you can't put your knowledge and contacts on this point together.

I've created a PR&M-task in Redmine for this (and Marc, guess who I will assing this task to..)

Gert-Jan, @all,

I really like your ideas and I would absolutely support any activity in direction of connections to neighboring communities! Also this helps us to hit our goal of 25% "new" attendees from outside our community.

As you know, FOSSGIS also is behind the german speaking OSM community. 
But looking at Europe  there is much more - we have INSPIRE (whatever opinion one has... ;-)), we also have the Copernikus programme delivering open remote sensing data to the world - I am in contact to the German Aerospace Agency (DLR) about that, finally last friday I found the perfect contact to them ;-). Also therei s OSM and the openData policy of many public administrations in Germany. Wanted to say, yes I absolutely support any bridges to all of this heterogenous communities

About CMS I am in contact to a company from Bonn, who are highliy engaged in the Drupal community. I'll see the manager next wednesday and engagement in FOSS4G is also an issue we want to talk about.

Reagrding python community maybe you talk to Dominik Helle, he is in Essen as well I think? Maybe they with omniscale have some contacts we can talk with...


Another 2 cents,

Till
