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

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Helena,

Nice France! One of the most livable cities on the planet and an opportunity to 
help the world be more free and open.

People have given their lives for that, and all you ask for is a bit of time.

Please count me in for whatever I can do to help!

-Patrick

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

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] FOSS4G: The Geospatial Event of the Year

[Mark Iliffe]

Publishing the program of workshops and the main conference program
has been a long road, but worth it!

This won’t just be an exciting program, but a program that we as a
DLOC think is one of the most diverse and interesting programs yet at
a FOSS4G and importantly one that we stand behind to deliver the
vision of our conference: Leave No-one Behind.

We've built collaborations with various communities, from within OSGeo
but wider than our core demographic. With Humanitarian OpenStreetMap
team, to host their annual summit as a track within the main program;
Understanding Risk: Africa, to focus on the use of OSGeo's geospatial
tools like Geoserver, Geonode, and Inasafe we'll be bringing users and
developers together at an extent not done before.

Workshop, Main Conference (and experience tickets!) are now available
at 2018.foss4g.org at the lowest early bird price in years - $500.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Tanzania in the warm
Tanzanian sun!

Best,

Mark

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

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Maria, Helena for sharing this excellent opportunity. I have added 
myself as volunteer for this . I think this is a great opportunity for 
OSGeo-France and OSGeo-Europe to have strong presence and activities promoting 
OSGeo . There is huge interest in OSGeo and we need to make use of all 
opportunities. We will aim to have a strong education focus as well for this. I 
request colleagues in GeoForAll in Europe to plan ideas for this. This might be 
a great opportunity to plan to bring together all GeoForAll Europe colleagues. 
As it is in 2020, we got enough time to plan this. All ideas welcome.


Best wishes,


Suchith
