[OSGeo-Discuss] How we replicate and build upon University of Turku (UTU), Finland's ideas and success

[Suchith Anand]

Dear  colleagues,


University of Turku in Finland is doing inspiring work in building 
international bridges through their work in Tanzania.


Looking at the University of Turku (UTU) Finland work made me think that this 
is a great idea we can replicate for GeoForAll labs globally . It will be good 
to twin a lab in  North America, Europe  with  labs in developing countries. It 
will be a great way to build joint ideas, collaborations and opportunities for 
working together in the future. What do you think?


Best wishes,


Suchith

Subject: Welcoming University of Turku (UTU), Finland to GeoForAll


We are pleased to welcome University of Turku (UTU), Finland to GeoForAll.


UTU Geospatial consists of geospatial research, education and cooperation 
resources and activities at the University of Turku (UTU), Finland. Thier 
geospatial expertise is founded on multidisciplinary research and education and 
international cooperation globally. Geospatial data, Geographical Information 
Systems (GIS), Earth observation, digital cartography, locational technologies 
and various geospatial analyses and modelling methods are applied in natural 
and social sciences, economics, humanities, medical sciences and education ( 
http://geospatial.utu.fi ). The geospatial research and teaching activities at 
UTU stem from easy access to digital geospatial data, software and hardware 
combined with access to cloud-based computing environments. These include a 
wide range of digital GIS and image processing software with laboratory and 
mobile installations, and the use of mobile devices, such as laser scanners, 
UAVs, GPSs, GNSS receivers, as well as smart phones and tablets. UTU is a part 
of Fiuginet, Finnish University Network in Geoinformatics since 2008 and the 
regional Spatial Data Infrastructure hub in South-West Finland, Lounaispaikka, 
since 2002. UTU are also part of AGILE, Association of Geographic Information 
Laboratories in Europe and EARSeL, European Association of Remote Sensing 
Laboratories. UTU has strong geospatial research profile especially in the 
subjects of Geography, Geology, Biology and Archaeology. These address dynamic 
nature-human processes where spatio-temporal information at different scales 
are integrated with biophysical field measurements and knowledge from the local 
communities and society through place-based mapping methods. Mapping, analyses 
and visualization is enabled through these multidimensional models of the 
dynamic Earth. We have key research and education expertise in fluvial 
processes and flood modelling; land cover/land use mapping and land change 
analysis; biodiversity and mapping of forest dynamics; coastal and marine 
environments and marine spatial planning; urban climate and environmental 
change; participatory spatial planning and citizen-science approaches, and 
Earth observation and geospatial innovations and business development.


University of Turku colleagues are doing excellent research and education 
through their various research groups. Some examples below


Tanzania Research Team http://tanzania.utu.fi

Amazon Research Team  http://www.utu.fi/en/sites/amazon/Pages/home.aspx

Coastal Geography Group  https://www.utu.fi/en/sites/coastal/Pages/home.aspx

Fluvial Research Group  http://www.utu.fi/en/sites/fluvial/Pages/home.aspx

Urban Climate Research Group  
http://www.utu.fi/en/sites/climate/climate/turclim/Pages/home.aspx


We thank Niina Käyhkö and colleagues University of Turku for joining GeoForAll. 
We are looking forward to work with  colleagues in making geospatial education 
and digital economy opportunities available for all. Please join us at

Best wishes,



Suchith

Came across this competition information. Do anyone in the community know more 
details?


https://www.geospatialscience.com.au/competition/


Can someone from OSGeo-Australia please reach out on behalf of GeoForAll and 
explore how we can support this  by sharing our software and teaching 
resources.  Thanks.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo symbols set

[Kristian Evers]

Nicolas, very cool. I am looking forward to seeing your PROJ logo proposal! It 
would be great if you could share it with the PROJ mailing list once you have a 
design you are happy with.

Thanks for thinking about this,

Kristian

Hi,

Thank you all for the positive feedbacks !

Kristian, i already have a few ideas for a PROJ logo and will come up
with a SVG proposal soon !

Bart, thanks for noticing that mistake, the GeoExt logo has been
removed from the set. Sorry for that.

Cameron, adding colors to the project logos SVG would indeed be quite a lot of
work. Only the Foundation related logos are available in color for now.
(see: 
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7135374/48731563-a1696800-ec3d-11e8-9a4c-c1b5919a325a.png
or 
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/svg/color)
Please also note that you can already add a unique color to each
project logo using CSS). I would be glad to work on a colored version, but i 
would need much more free time for that !

Best regards,

Nicolas

Nicolas, these symbols look very impressive!

As Kristian noticed, there are a few OSGeoLive projects which have logos which 
are not as creative as what you have been creating. (See 
https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation.html ) I'd be happy to help point you to 
our OSGeoLive points of contact for each project if you would like to ask them 
if you'd like to draw them a logo.

What are your thoughts on logo colours? I'm guessing it would be quite a bit of 
work to adopt logo colours into the SVG?

Once you are done, we should probably be including your logos into the 
OSGeoLive documentation.

Nice work, Cameron

Nicolas,

Very impressive work!

Regarding projects that doesn’t already have logo, would you be interested in 
coming up with logo suggestions for those projects? I can only speak for the 
PROJ project, but I am sure all projects without a logo would be interested in 
having one. At least a new logo for PROJ would be very welcome!

Good job,

Kristian

Hello all,

I have finally been able to put together and publish a first version of the 
OSGeo symbols set.

This is a visual representation of the OSGeo projects and activities aimed at 
supplementing the Foundation branding material.

A preview of the OSGeo symbols set is available here:
https://nbozon.github.io/OSGeo/symbols-set/

The 48 symbols fall into four categories:
- Foundation (OSGeo fundamentals represented by 'Variations on the Compass')
- Initiatives (mostly based on the compass shape too)
- Projects (derived OSGeo project logos)
- Community (derived Community projects logos)

The set is made of two parts, both copyrighted OSGeo:
- The source SVG documents, licensed under CC-BY-SA
 (see 
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/svg)
- A cross-browser webfont, licensed under OFL.
(see 
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/font)

Important notes:
- Some projects do not have a logotype, only logotext, and cannot be included 
in the set at this stage (namely PROJ, GEOS, OSSIM and Degree).
- Some projects logos were heavily modified or redrawn, in order to ensure 
constistency and scalability. I'm listening to project owners feedbacks and 
will be glad to work towards better solutions if needed.
- All 48 symbols are made available as black SVG. The 16 Foundation and 
Initiatives icons are also available in color, based on our brand guidelines.
- This work may not be exhaustive and is subject to change.

Hope you will like it !

Reviews, comments and ideas are most welcome in the related PR:

Nicolas Bozon
