Arnie,I have some interests in the public safety arena, not currently working in that space professionally, for a number of years was involved in infrastructure management software mostly for utilities / telecom. Here's a link that might be interestinghttp://www.gita.org/ciper/gecco.aspGITA = Geospatial Information Technology Association (they were hired to manage FOSS4G/Denver in '11), they've hosted a number of workshops "GECCo" (Geospatially Enabling Community Collaboration) in various cities, one of them being Arlington TX in June '11, which I attended. These are not specifically geared to open source. I was there more or less to represent the OSGEO perspective (translation: "No, please don't assume I'm referring to ArcGIS unless I specifically say that I am"). I mention these events because they center around how multiple jurisdictions and other holders of geospatial data can best share resources to manage something as dynamic as a storm or other event that affects public safety -- my interests are in how open standards/software might tackle such a problem. I'd be pleased to see some sort of open source interest group form around this subject matter. Feel free to contact me offline if you wish. Robert H.

Monday, January 21, 2013 1:46 PM From: "Arnie Shore" <shor...@gmail.com> To: disc...@lists.osgeo.orgi'd be interested in hearing from any of you with interests in the Public Safety applications area.
I for one have such interests, being one of the developers behind our Open Source (mostly) Computer-Aided-Dispatch application, Tickets by name, in which geo plays a major role. In truth my specialized interest right now is rather narrow, this being in interoperability with many of the commercial deodata formats, notably accommodating shapefiles within Leaflet for use with OSM tilesets and data. Which interest admittedly is probably best served by hanging out in the Leaflet and OSM neighborhoods. But other practitioners in the PS world may well have broader interests than mine, and I'd like very much to contact you to see if any cross-fertilization occurs. AS
