As a charter member from OSGeo-PDX, I happily nominate Neil Revello to 
be part of the incoming charter member group of 2017.


He can be contacted at neil.reve...@portlandoregon.gov 
. I have verified that he is open to nomination.


Neil has been an active member of our local chapter for many years, and 
played a vital role in organizing and implementing our international 
hosting of FOSS4G-2014.


He exemplifies the "positive attributes" of a charter member, 
particularly in his diversity of interests.


He is also active in our local URISA chapter, especially with the annual 
conference.


Neil will be a great addition to our charter membership.

Cheers,
Percy

[OSGeo-Discuss] AgroSphere- Team of high school and undergraduate NASA interns win the GODAN Local Farming challenge Award 2017

2017-09-10 Thread Suchith Anand 
Dear all,

On behalf of the G7’s Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN), I 
want to thank all students and mentors who contributed for the NASA Worldwind 
Europa Challenge 2017.

In January 2017 at the Geospatial World Forum 2017 in Hyderabad , India , GODAN 
released a call for participants to take part in a Local Farming Challenge, 
with support from the NASA Europa Challenge 2017. The call aimed to bring 
together researchers and students to find solutions for local farming in 
growing cities, using open agriculture and nutrition data. Agriculture must 
respond to an increasing urban population and changing climate conditions. 
Optimising local food production to wisely support our nutrition needs is an 
area where creative solutions are essential to our future.

We had a range of amazing projects submitted for this challenge . In August 
2017, at the final awards ceremony event held in Nokia headquarters in Finland  
we announced the winner of the GODAN challenge - AgroSphere which was developed 
by a team of high school and undergraduate NASA interns.

AgroSphere is an educational web application that visualizes the effects of 
climate change on agriculture using a large collection of global agriculture 
and climate data.

Oggetto: [OSGeo-Discuss] GeoAmbassador – Bridget Fleming

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the GeoForAll community, it is my great pleasure to introduce 
Bridget Fleming from South Africa as our GeoAmbassador. Bridget Fleming is the 
regional chair of GeoForAll Africa (along with Serena Coetzee and Rania Elsayed 
) and has been actively expanding geoeducation opportunities for all. Bridget 
is a passionate advocate for using Geotechnologies in the classroom. She is the 
IEB (Independent Examination Board) geography national moderator and has 
authored a number of textbooks and digital classroom resources. She has 
recently returned to the classroom after a few years of running a start-up GIS 
company where she was involved in Geospatial education and training. She is on 
the National GISSA council (Education portfolio) and is the Chair of the 
Southern African Geography Teachers’ Association (SAGTA). She is presently HOD 
Geography at St John’s College  in South Africa. Bridget is also one of the key 
organisors behind the success of the recent SAGTA+FOSS4G Africa conference 
hosted by St John’s College in Houghton, Johannesburg. More details at 
http://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/2017/09/geoambassador-bridget-fleming/

I am sure Bridget and colleagues will expand these ideas for the future. We are 
looking forward to building  strong research and teaching collaborations  
worldwide in Open Geospatial Science. We are proud to honour Bridget as our 
GeoAmbassador and we are extremely grateful for her contributions to GeoForAll.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Dear colleagues, 

On behalf of the GeoForAll community, it is my great pleasure to introduce 
Bridget Fleming from South Africa as our GeoAmbassador. Bridget Fleming is the 
regional chair of GeoForAll Africa (along with Serena Coetzee and Rania Elsayed 
) and has been actively expanding geoeducation opportunities for all. Bridget 
is a passionate advocate for using Geotechnologies in the classroom. She is the 
IEB (Independent Examination Board) geography national moderator and has 
authored a number of textbooks and digital classroom resources. She has 
recently returned to the classroom after a few years of running a start-up GIS 
company where she was involved in Geospatial education and training. She is on 
the National GISSA council (Education portfolio) and is the Chair of the 
Southern African Geography Teachers’ Association (SAGTA). She is presently HOD 
Geography at St John’s College  in South Africa. Bridget is also one of the key 
organisors behind the success of the recent SAGTA+FOSS4G Africa conference 
hosted by St John’s College in Houghton, Johannesburg. More details at 
http://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/2017/09/geoambassador-bridget-fleming/ 
  

I am sure Bridget and colleagues will expand these ideas for the future. We are 
looking forward to building  strong research and teaching collaborations  
worldwide in Open Geospatial Science. We are proud to honour Bridget as our 
GeoAmbassador and we are extremely grateful for her contributions to GeoForAll.

Best wishes,

Suchith
