Gildas, To compliment the encouragement and good guidance of Suchith, here is a starter app for you, the WorldWind Explorer 'reference app' that's all yours! Demo: http://explorer.worldwind.earth/ Code: https://github.com/emxsys/WorldWindExplorer
And here is a fun sandbox to play in and to teach with http://jsbin.com/nomafey/edit?output And an example of encouragement you can also establish for Africa http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/ And if we want the world to work together from the ground up (speaking city-wise), https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Opencitysmart -Patrick From: Discuss [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Suchith Anand Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 6:38 PM To: Gildas Jr. Boko; geoforall-afr...@lists.osgeo.org; discuss@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [GeoForAll-Africa] FOSS4G Africa Hi Gildas, Thank you for your mail and interest. Your idea to organise FOSS4G Africa and to create a network of capacity-building and knowledge and experience-sharing in Africa is excellent. I am CC'ing our wider community so that we will be able to bring in more ideas to support you. btw i could not get the link of your centre RECTAS www.rectas.org (maybe the site is currently down) that you emailed but i did find another link with info at http://www.un-spider.org/links-and-resources/institutions/regional-centre-training-aerospace-surveys-rectas Thanks again for your initiative. Best wishes, Suchith ________________________________________ From: GeoForAll-Africa <geoforall-africa-boun...@lists.osgeo.org> on behalf of Gildas Jr. Boko <eddygo...@gmail.com> Sent: 27 July 2016 8:07 PM To: geoforall-afr...@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [GeoForAll-Africa] FOSS4G Africa Dear all, I've a user or OSGEO products for almost ten years now. And while i notice a growing interest all over the world for these products and the creation of FOSS4G chapters in different countries, in Africa there nothing like that. My idea is to organise a FOSS4G conference for OSGEO products users in order to create a network of capacity-building and knowledge and experience-sharing in all the possible fields. I've been thinking about this for a while now and i think a centre like RECTAS (www.rectas.org<http://www.rectas.org>), where I've worked for the past two years can host such event thanks to their experience in the GIS field and also their hosting capacity. Well that is an aspect on which everybody can discuss. But i believe it is high time for a FOSS4G chapter in Africa. Thanks in advance for your opinion on this idea -- Gildas Jr BOKO (PhD) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
