[OSGeo-Discuss] Capacity Assessment Survey on Open Data - We welcome your inputs

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,



With the objective to promote open data knowledge and increase awareness of 
ongoing open data initiatives, innovations and good practices, the leader 
organisations of GODAN Action[1] are working on the creation of a GODAN Working 
Group on Capacity Development. Details at 
http://www.godan.info/news/godan-working-group-capacity-development


The Global Open Data for Impact and capacity Development in Agriculture and 
Nutrition (GODAN Action) is a 3.5 year project led by international partners 
with a strong agriculture, nutrition, data and ICT record including Wageningen 
UR -Alterra, AgroKnow, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United 
Nations (FAO), the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), the Land 
Portal, the Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Cooperation (CTA), the 
Open Data Institute (ODI), AidData, the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).

It aims to enable an effective use of open data in tackling the food security 
and nutrition challenges by building the capacity of stakeholders to both 
understand the potential of open data for agriculture and nutrition and to 
engage with it practically. Part of the project will develop new training 
programmes to build capacity in open data and agriculture and nutrition. To 
understand what the focus of the training needs to be, we are conducting a 
survey of people working with open data in the agriculture and nutrition space.

The data from this survey, along with evidence from desk research, will then be 
gathered into a training needs assessment report. This report will inform the 
development of new training materials and courses.


We kindly ask your collaboration in filling the capacity assessment survey on 
open data through this link.

[OSGeo-Discuss] developing a slippy maps app while offline

[P Kishor]

I will be offline (for mapping purposes) for a few weeks, but would like to 
continue working on my projects. Is there a way I can develop a leafletjs app 
while offline? I don’t want to create an offline map storage as I really don’t 
want to look at the maps. I just want leafletjs to not throw any errors while I 
code other (non-map) parts of the app.

Suggestions?

Puneet

[OSGeo-Discuss] https on 2017.foss4g.org

[Sandro Santilli]

Could the 2017.foss4g.org website be made available in https too ?
Failing to do so results in browser warnings upon visiting a web
page that contains the foss4g 2017 banner, like this:

 https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/

It's gratis and easy (and worth learning) to do it via letsencrypt:
