| 00:12:46 | wildintellect: | good point |
| 07:25:52 | bitner: | anyone find it odd that the osgeo china lecture is about web services in arcgis? |
| 07:31:59 | FrankW: | yes, I found that odd. |
| 07:32:17 | FrankW: | Perhaps I need to go and lecture them on ideological purity... |
| 07:33:48 | bitner: | I'm just guessing that the "cloud lecture" may not necessarily be os either |
| 07:34:23 | FrankW: | It could easily be about running open source software on a not-so-open-source cloud platform. |
| 07:34:43 | FrankW: | I'd like to think the arcgis web services talk might be about integration with open source stuff too. |
| 07:35:04 | danmo: | maybe they confuse open source and open standards ... as ESRI does |
| 07:35:05 | bitner: | oh, absolutely -- description just doesn't lean in that direction |
| 07:35:26 | bitner: | could just be lost in translation |
| 07:39:08 | danmo: | bitner: are you going to ask on the discuss list for clarification? |
| 07:39:13 | danmo: | I think we should |
| 07:40:42 | : | * bitner was really just makeing a quick side comment, but I suppose I could ping the list |
| 07:42:25 | danmo: | I think it's important that OSGeo local chapters relay the OSGeo message... I'd simply ask "Can you please elaborate on how those lectures relate to the mission of OSGeo which is to support the development of open source geospatial software, and promote its widespread use? |
| 07:42:48 | bitner: | oh yeah, writing something up as we speak... |
| 07:43:20 | danmo: | The mission statement is here in case you need to quote it http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/about.html |

| 07:43:30 | : | * bitner knows |
| 07:43:54 | danmo: | I'm sure you do... just thought I'd pass the link anyway : ) |
| 07:44:11 | bitner: | I'd rather you pass me a beer :- ) |
| 07:44:19 | danmo: | lol |
| 07:44:23 | danmo: | ( B ) |
| 07:44:46 | bitner: | oh great, a candadian labatts |
