Interested parties could add themselves to the list below to show interest.

A public discussion followed on the German VisCom list ((Archive)) about whether a company was truely enough Open Source minded to be admitted. Sometimes somewhat agitating but hey - we did it openly and publicly and can be pretty sure that also in the next year no half baked double-dealer will make it. Subscribe to the German language VisCom mailing list if you want to join the party for Intergeo 2007.

The following sections in German language decpict the major issues around FOS business models and why it makes sense to quality assure exhibitors

Kriterien zur Auswahl der Sponsoren

Die Geschäftsmodelle rund um Freie und Open Source Software unterscheiden sich in vielen Punkten grundsätzlich von propritären Geschäftsmodellen. Auf dem Open Source Park stellen ausschließlich Unternehmen und Organisationen aus, die den Kriterien zur Auswahl von Sponsoren der Open Source Geopspatial Foundation genüge leisten. Durch die Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Geschäftmodelle und Arbeitsbereiche kann nicht jedes Unternehmen alle Kriterien erfüllen, deshalb kann in einigen Fällen eine individuelle Betrachtung erforderlich sein. Schreiben Sie sich in die Mailing Liste ein, um Ihr Unternehmensprofil vorzustellen, falls Sie sich nicht sicher sind, ob sie genügend Kriterien erfüllen. Die folgende Liste gibt einen ersten Anhaltspunkt, alle Punkte sind immer in Bezug auf die Geoinformationsverarbeitung zu sehen.

  • Unternehmen, in deren Geschäftsmodell Freie Software ein zentrales Element darstellt
  • Aktives Engagement in der Open Source Geospatial Foundation (z.B. OSGeo Foundation Sponsorship)
  • Aktive Förderung der Produktion von Freier und Open Source Software (Entwicklung)
  • Aktive Förderung der Nutzung von Freier und Open Source Software (nicht nur Schulung, sondern z.B. auch Veröffentlichung der Unterlagen)
  • Übersetzung von FOSSGIS Software Dokumentationen, Online Hilfen, etc.
  • Förderung der Nutzung und Verbreitung von FOSSGIS in der Lehre
  • (bitte weitere Punkte anfügen)

Eine schwer einzuschätzende Leistung ist z.B. Unterstützung in Email-Liste, da sie auf persönlicher Basis gewährt wird, oft aber auch während der Arbeitszeit in einem Unternehmen erfolgt.

Free and Open Source Community Exhibitors
