[Ica-osgeo-labs] ICA-OSGeo Labs network website

Thu May 23 14:52:04 PDT 2013

Dear Jeff and dear Helena
My preference was absolutely for the proposal of Helena. By the way, considering ICA-OSgeo, ICA-OSGeo means the Labs that ideally agree on the agreement signed between ICA and OSGeo, therefore the agreement signed between an Association (ICA) and a Foundation (OSGeo). On the opposite ICA Labs means something different (the Labs of the ICA Association) and not true because our Lab is not related to ICA. Please leave ICA - OSGeo in order to avoid confusion. I hope that now my thought is clearer. Many thanks!!
Good night/day to All of you!
Maria

I have suggested OSGeo REL (research and education labs) but the final consensus was ICA-OSgeo Labs.

>> Jeff, better OSGeo Lab because in my opinion what is unifying is OSGeo.  In our case, for instance, we are not members of ICA, but Ludovico and I are chairs of ISPRS WGs.  And the common aim of the labs is open source usage and promoting. Nothing agains ICA, obviously, just to clarify.
