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
