FOSS4G ASIA 2018/Logo Contest

__TOC__
= Logo Design =
The FOSS4G Asia Local Organizing Committee (BLOC) is pleased to announce a call for logo designs. We need your help to build a strong recognizable logo for FOSS4G Asia 2018.
FOSS4G conference is an international conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. FOSS4G-Asia 2018 aims to bring researchers, professionals and students together with FOSS4G users and developers worldwide on building and nurturing Asian communities to overcome barriers of technology innovation through open source
transformation for sustainable development. FOSS4G-ASIA 2018 Conference will be hosted by Department of Town & Country Planning, University of Moratuwa. Conference committee is looking for a new visual identity, design
an eye-catching logo. If you are good at designing a creative, innovative and professional logo, please submit your proposal.
=== How to enter ===
* Create your logo in PNG file format and a scalable file format (either SVG or PDF).
** If you're not used to scalable formats please still enter the competition as we can try to help.
* Anyone willing to show the talent can enter for this contest 
* Send your design to the LOC via email. 
=== Contest Flyer ===
Download the flyer PDF: Logo Design Contest Foss4gAsia2018 pdf
=== Design ===
==== The design MUST ====
* Include elements of the OSGeo / FOSS4G "ribbon" as can be seen in all previous conference logos 
* Include themes for FOSS4G Asia 2018
* Be easily printable on t-shirts with as few colors as possible. This keeps the cost of printing down.
* Be delivered in PNG file format and a scalable format (SVG or PDF).
* Not be similar to other mapping conference logos (Where 2.0, ESRI, SOTM...)
* Not communicate the brand of potential sponsors or related companies
* Not include copyrighted material that is not yours
==== The design MAY ====
* Come in different sizes (example: a main logo and a variant for use on small print media such as badges).
==== The design should communicate ====
* Openness
* A sense of community
* The potential of free and open source geospatial tools
* A sense of learning and education
* Intelligence
* Trustworthiness
* Global movement
* Identity of the location 
==== The design should not communicate ====
* Corporate / big business (as the sole element)
* Complexity
* Expensive
* For geeks only
* Closed community

===Ideas===
* despresate is a platform aimed at providing as many statistical data as possible about counties and communes in Romania. We have quite a few open bugs that you can work on, either directly related to geographical data or other parts of the platform. Here are some selected ideas (but don't let this list limit you!)
** integrate the village coordinates from OSM in the commune map
** add more geographical data to the pages (e.g. min/max/average altitude, important rivers in the area etc.)
** add image resources from different open image repositories
** internationalize the interface
* Create a Romanian verision of http://click-that-hood.com/ code: https://github.com/codeforamerica/click_that_hood

FOSS4G EU Como 2015 BOF1

FOSS4G Europe in Como, July 16, 2015 
Summary notes'''
Participants: BOF_signup_list. Thanks for Toni for taking notes! 
We only had 45 minutes, so to make the meeting productive these questions were proposed:
'''
* Geo4All What would you like to see Geo4All in 5 years -- 2020 (!) -- in the context of educational collaboration? 
* Geo4All what we need to do together to achieve this vision?
* Geo4All what can we do THIS YEAR to move forward?
* Geo4All what can YOU DO THIS YEAR to move us toward this vision?'''
We didn't have enough time to go through all these questions. The key points that came out of our group's discussion focuses on questions 1 and 4.
1.VISION OF GEOFORALL EDUCATION IN 2020 
A. CURRICULAR
* Universities and schools responsible for this
* Build shared curriculum in a MODULAR fashion and based on curricular standards such as 
** the GIS&T Body of Knowledge (2014? Some updates being done on it now? Suchith says it may be by http://www.gi-n2k.eu/) and/or, 
** the GCTM
* Have a dataset sharing system
* Develop case-based material (e.g., solve a problem about flooding)
* Separate conceptual/theoretical from technology in course material. Design so that complementary exercises can be written for different technologies (e.g., QGIS, gvSig, Grass, etc.)
* Develop exercise materials with dataset names that are generic to allow for the 'swapping in and out' of data relevant to teaching location.
B. WEB-BASED SHARING PLATFORM
* Designed to allow the educator to search or easily find modules they want
* Could be graphical or hierarchical and/or built on one of the curriculum standards, where the user can click on a section and find available material (e.g., theory, exercises, cases) related to that concept 
* Possible GeoForAll MOOC course(s)
* Whatever is implemented needs to be VERY SIMPLE and not demanding on the end user
C. INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS
* Students in our programs are getting internships with industry and academia that are involved in GeoForAll
2. STEPS OVER THE NEXT YEAR (we didn't have a whole lot of time for this)
- Dataset sharing (Lene)
- Education Hackfest (QGIS) 
- Jupiter system: can we develop a Jupiter infrastructure?
- Maybe to create several MOOC. Coursera for example allows to create several levels?
3. DISCUSSION ABOUT REGIONAL LISTS QUESTION
- We decided we should keep them for the next year. They may be useful for helping with 'language' problems in our network (people who don't speak english), and it may be too early to decide... not much traffic on these lists currently, so not relly competing with the main GeoForAll list.

FOSS4G Europe 2014

FOSS4G-Europe (Free and Open Source Software 4 Geospatial in Europe) is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide a community event for open software and open data, developers and users, projects and project supporting companies, agencies using free and open software and data, dito for researchers ...in short: all engaged with and interested in open source and data in whatever way.
The conference will take place at Jacobs University, Northern Germany.
Greetings to our sister events, FOSDEM (general FOSS, while FOSS4G-Europe focuses on geospatial) and FOSSGIS (focusing on German-speaking communty, while FOSS4G-Europe is the Europe-wide event, emerging from two tremendously successful FOSS4G-CEEs in Prague and Bucuresti).
