03:29:25 steko: hi all
03:29:30 steko: any news from Bolsena ?
06:06:50 : * seven suggests to call FOSS4G the "World conference on Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial".
06:07:00 seven: Does that make sense?
06:07:07 seven: It will make it more explicit that there can be others locally. Thoughts?
06:07:56 chippy: "International" ?
06:08:47 seven: Yes. Another option would be "Global".
06:09:03 seven: It is mainly a marketing thingy.
06:09:28 : * jmckenna i'm not a fan of 'world'...it reminds me of U.S. baseball/basketball leagues saying 'world champions'
06:10:05 jmckenna: but i agree on the concept
06:10:19 seven: Just an idea...
06:10:53 FrankW: I think it is a good idea.
06:11:03 jmckenna: this is related to the conference committee thread on international vs local
06:11:16 crschmidt: jmckenna: well, certainly it's far more true than the US-centric 'world' view, given the participants come from at least dozens of countries
06:11:37 jmckenna: agreed
06:19:57 seven: Am I too dumb to find the search field on www.osgeo.org or has it gone?
06:20:53 : * seven needs to find OSGeo's number of certification for the FOSS4G 2010 contract.
06:21:17 crschmidt: When logged in, there is a 'Content SEarch' link.
06:21:23 crschmidt: But I don't think it will help you.
06:21:30 seven: Found it: http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/incorporation/osgeo_certificate.pdf
06:21:46 seven: Hm. Many numbers. :- )
06:22:24 seven: Tyler is on the air somewhere, cannot get him. Anybody know our reg no?
06:32:07 seven: 4060918
06:32:10 seven: https://sos-res.state.de.us/tin/GINameSearch.jsp search for Open Source Geospatial Foundation
06:32:11 sigq: Title: Division of Corporations - Online Services ( at sos-res.state.de.us )
06:32:23 seven: and it is the same as on the certificate of incorporation.

11:47:10 darkblue_B: wildintellect: there?
11:47:24 wildintellect: by coincidence yes
11:47:31 darkblue_B: here.. here *or* there ;- )
11:47:34 darkblue_B: hi
11:47:53 darkblue_B: I just sent a msg to the California list, but I havent seen it in my inbox
11:47:54 darkblue_B: yet
11:48:12 darkblue_B: 2-3 minutes.. odd
11:50:11 wildintellect: it showed up for me but not via the list yet
11:50:48 darkblue_B: right
11:51:04 darkblue_B: I suspect something isnt right
11:53:52 wildintellect: wait a little longer and then we can ask the admins about it
11:59:32 darkblue_B: hmmm magic
11:59:38 darkblue_B: ok, here it is
11:59:51 darkblue_B: the hamster wheel got unstuck :p
18:05:48 seven: Well done: FOSS4G Abstract voting explained
18:06:25 seven: But I am still unhappy that there is no focus on OSGeo projects. Similar to the limitation of Workshops.
18:18:49 mleslie: seven: I can't speak with any authority on this one, but I'm hoping/expecting there's going to be a track for OSGeo project reports that will give them a bit of focus. The AGM is pressed for time, so project updates are going to be pushed into presentations.
