Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] XXIVth ISPRS Congress in Nice, France (2020) and OSGeo

[Helena Mitasova]

As a follow up to Maria’s call, as you probably know, we have a MoU 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS 
with ISPRS and these kind of activities are good examples of opportunities that 
the MoU covers.
I have set up a wiki page where you can sign up  if you are interested in 
helping out to organize an OSGeo Pavilion
and a forum (or several fora) on all things Open-Geo at the ISPRS congress in 
Nice in 2020.
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGEO_at_ISPRS2020 


Please sign up on the wiki by June 1 (next Friday) so that we can see how much 
interest there is and we will prepare the answer to ISPRS congress organizers 
based on the interest from the community.
Here is the congress website again: http://www.isprs2020-nice.com/ 


Thank you all for supporting this excellent opportunity,

Helena

[OSGeo-Discuss] XXIVth ISPRS Congress in Nice, France (2020) and OSGeo

[Maria Antonia Brovelli]

Dear All
probably many of you know ISPRS (http://www.isprs.org/), which is the 
International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, a Society with a 
long history and which is our partner  for instance in the GeoForAll initiative 
and in the Academic Track of FOSS4G 2018.
ISPRS has (among the others) also a Technical Commission on Spatial Information 
Science, whose topics are very close to ours. And they are very open to 
collaboration with OSGeo.
Last year Gerald Fenoy  co-organised  FOSS4G Europe in Paris with a good 
success.

Every four years ISPRS organises a big congress attracting thousand of people ( 
researchers, companies, tecnicians of administrations, etc). In 2020 it will be 
in Nice (France).

http://www.isprs2020-nice.com/

I was contacted by Nicolas Paparotidis (the Director of the Congress) who 
proposed OSGeo to co-organise, in the frame of the Congress, these two 
initiatives:

-  a forum on Geo-Open-Science, Geo-Open-Source and  Geo-Open-Data. The 
motivation of fora is  to encourage strong exchanges between academia, 
institutions, industry, and users on important structuring subjects. The 
program built for the fora must cover all aspects of the theme (integrating 
also policy issues) and not only scientific/tecnical aspects.

- a pavilion,  where to group open-source companies to give them a stronger 
impact during the congress.

The two initiatives are really challenging and therefore, for answering 
positively, we need to have a team of people who are interested in 
collaborating on that. Consider please that there is a great curiosity and 
interest with respect to open source and we have the occasion of showing the 
potential of our technologies in a new context. It is a challenge but, if well 
played, with many opportunities.

Please circulate this news and answer to this call if you are interested.
We will verify if there are the conditions (i.e. people/energy) for accepting 
this challenge and answer consequently to such an offer.
Best regards!
Maria

[OSGeo-Discuss] GEO Climate Workshop: Earth observations for the Paris agreement

[Suchith Anand]

The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) invites climate partners and those 
interesting in contributing to our efforts in support of the Paris Climate 
Agreement to join us for the 1st GEO Climate Workshop: Earth Observations for 
the Paris Agreement in Geneva, Switzerland, following the 2018 GEO Symposium.


The workshop will take stock of climate initiatives and activities in the GEO 
Work Programme and beyond, including the work of key organizations including 
GCOS, IPCC, WMO and UNFCCC, in order to identify gaps and develop tangible 
action areas. It will address all relevant areas in the Paris Agreement, 
focusing on areas where GEO can provide most added value: adaptation, loss & 
damage and capacity development.


The overall objectives of the workshop are to:


  1.  enhance the understanding of how the Earth Observation community can 
support the implementation of the Paris Agreement, and;
  2.  to discuss a more integrated approach to climate across the GEO Work 
Programme.

Best wishes,


Suchith
