Hi VisCom,
The Francophone Local Chapter try to plan to be present to the Geotunis [1] trade show. As for the French Trade show Geoevenement, we are organizing an Open Source Village. The organization is managed by Camptocamp, and two others French GFOSS companies will be present (Makina Corpus and 3Liz). Some other will join the OS Village.
We asked for funding to a French collectivity (called UbiFrance) but it won't be enough to support all the cost. So I am looking for support from OSGeo to be present to this trade show as I did it for Geoevenement [2].
Do you think OSGeo could provide help with managing the financial issues, such as paying booth fees, helping to defray travel costs, etc.? I will create an official wiki page soon like for the Geoevenement trade show as soon as I will get more information about the feasibility.
I could give you a small and quick budget provisional if needed. We will get more information from UbiFrance in September (around the 5th).
The purpose of this trade show for OSGeo (and OSGeo-fr) is to get some physical contact with local geomatics worker in order to improve contributor/members in this area. The promotion of GFOSS seems important to me. We get more and more messages about GFOSS technologies on French forum.
Thanks for your answer, best regards,
Y.

Hi,
Do I need to send my questions to someone particularly or to create an
official wiki page?
Best Resgards,
Y.

Hi Yves,
Yes a provisional budget would be needed before we can discuss it any further. At this point you can request a certain amount to support the show. Then if this committee thinks it is a good idea, we will make the request from the board to acquire the funds. Eventually we hope to have a budget for this group and plan ahead to support x number of events like this.
Hope that helps,
Tyler
Hi Viscom,
As asked by Tyler Mitchell, here is the wiki page with a provisional budget
for the GeoTunis Trade show:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Geotunis2007
Some detail may be added. Sorry to send it really late, but I needed some time
to find details about the budget.
Regards,
Y.
