[FOSS4G2016] OSgeo keynote (RE: LAST CHANCE: Keynotes FOSS4G 2016)

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

Till, Volker, Marc, Arnulf, 

+1 for giving OSGeo a panel for the new strategy. An absolute must have!

Whether this keynote is presented by Venka (president) Dirk or Helena (vice-presidents), or by Jody (who submitted a regular talk on this topic) Í would like to leave up to the Board. 

My favorite setup would be to have the strategic plans folded out in a keynote, and after that (same day or next day) have one of our "topic talks" (3 presentations + discussion on one topic) on the subject "FOSS: the next steps". 
Both the next steps in the OSGeo strategy, as well as the Location Tech activities (by Andrea) would fit in such a "topic talk")

Preferably to be organized in close relation with the Board and LocTech. 
Or even just by the Board and LocTech.


regards, 

GJ

Dear Team!

Since my last call not really much happened with our keynotes.

Just to sum up:
- Homepage Team: please have a look, there are three keynoters fixed:
see #276, #294, #295 and #307
-> TODO: Please add them to the homepage as outlined in #294 and #295


Leave us open three more keynoters:

- Codrinas reply for her Open Data keynoter is still pending. WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!  Decision: TODAY

- Ask CJ Hendrix from UN-Ocha instead? Decision: TODAY

- Pending request from Planet (see my emails from monday) - other opinions?

- Giving OSGeo a panel to introduce to the new strategy of OSGeo? I would prefer having Dirk Frigne as a presenter for this topic, he talks quite well.


Please note:
If I do NOT receive any constructional-minded replies/suggestions by TODAY, 27.4., I go ahead with Planet, Dirk for OSgeo and will knock on CJ Hendrix/UN Ocha's door.
