Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Public Safety OSGeo Interests Here?

2013-01-24 Thread Robert Hollingsworth
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.

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.

[OSGeo-Discuss] GRASS community sprint in Genova, Feb 2nd to Feb 9th, 2013

2013-01-24 Thread Nikos Alexandris
Dear OSGeo community,

the GRASS GIS community sprint starts next weekend.  For those who don't know 
the details yet, please have a look at the GRASS-Wiki:

http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Community_Sprint_Genova_2013.


Herewith, I share some personal thoughts.  Please, consider to join the sprint 
if you have the option to do so.  If you live in a neighbouring country, try 
to squeeze your time and pay a visit in Genoa.  Such gatherings, even more for 
end users, as myself, are unique, invaluable in reality.

Don't you ever hesitate if you would like to join -- embrace the event!

From my very user point of view, given the current participation plan, I 'll 
have the opportunity to:

- meet freeriders Markus Neteler, Massimiliano Canata, Paolo Cavalini

- meet very important hackers like Martin Landa, Luca Delucchi, Margherita Di 
Leo, Anna Kratochvilova, Anne Ghisla and Vaclav Petras

- get to know more on GRASS-GIS in action with Luca Casagrande

- get excited and boost-up python skills by drinking some of  Pietro's 
(Zambelli) pythonian-magic filter! -- Oh yes, if you ever have a feeling like 
hmm, I want to do it with python but don't know where to begin joining 
Pietro's sessions is the ticket ;-)

- chat with power user Nikos Ves (yes, while traveling together :-p)

- meet other people that do quite interesting stuff

- sneak into mesmerising tricks performed by Markus Metz, Yann Chemin -- those 
are magicians, not hackers - period.

I wish I could see and talk to more of these epic giants who contribute in one 
way or another into the GRASS GIS project.

There is still time. Spread the word around, join the meeting.

Best, Nikos :D

Hi Arnie,

I'm interested in Public Safety application area.

We have a yearly exercise called Golden Guardian and this year the exercise is 
a simulation of a catastrophic earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area.  We 
are using Unified Incident Command and Decision Support (http://uicds.us/) to 
share information with with other state and federal agencies that are 
participating in this exercise.  It would be so cool if there are more UICDS 
clients such as mobile apps.
