Hi All, Really excited about this initiative. While I'm not able to join the call, I hope to participate in future calls. In the meantime, I've been doing some work on the "Humanitarian UAV" side, which may be of interest:
http://uaviators.org http://uaviators.org/map http://uaviators.org/advisors And on crowdsourcing the analysis of *aerial* imagery with MicroMappers.org, e.g.: http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/30/opinion/sutter-wildlife-crowdsource I'd love to explore ways to connect with and draw on your important work. Thanks!
