Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Collaborate or be less! Helsinki will challenge your mettle. . .<br>
<br>
Dear OSGeo and GeoForAll,<br>
I cannot pass up a chance to share some upcoming good news,<br>
reaching a climax in Helsinki the week after next.<br>
NASA WorldWind is old girl, 15 years now,<br>
and a very proud girl at that.<br>
She is the original ^open source geospatial^ giving Earth to all,<br>
via a virtual globe SDK, that today is still alive and well.<br>
That's a pretty long life for a software project.<br>

Importance: High<br>
<br>
Dear Europa Challenge Elite Teams,<br>
<br>
Time to show your ^mettle^ to yourselves, to each other and to the world. The original plan was for your project to deliver solutions serving sustainability and urban management needs. With the over-arching theme of sharing these solutions in a way that facilitates
our ability to collectively advance them together. In addition, the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition group, GODAN.info, is looking for web apps that focus on agricultural issues.<br>
<br>
This group of projects have all taken a big step in that direction. To achieve the next level, it is incumbent on each team to reach out to other teams in two ways. ^One^ [the pull] is to discover capabilities in other projects that could be customized to serve
your project and get that team to help you implement. ^Two^ [the push] is to see capabilities in your web app that may be of value to other projects and help them incorporate the feature(s).<br>
<br>
During our upcoming spectacular but short time together in Helsinki, you will have the rare opportunity to find those ^touchstone points^ where cross-pollination between projects can occur. As an incentive for that, Helsinki is offering two (2) cash awards
of 500 each. This cash will go to the two teams who demonstrate the most successful push/pull with the other teams. In other words you are rewarded for helping each other become more!<br>
<br>
Sustainable Earth:<br>
To quote Ron Fortunato, the NASA Teacher-In-Space astronaut, who will be there with us, "to maximize success in being competitive, we must also be collaborative." This then takes us ^all^ to the next level, allowing us to accomplish ^so^ much more, as we continue
to challenge each other while also working in concert with each other.<br>
<br>
Feel free to start NOW! Review each other's projects, be prepared to ask probing questions, and begin hooking up with each other NOW!<br>
The project teams are listed below (with emails). They will be there with you in Helsinki. Reach out and get ready to collaborate!<br>
<br>
NASA Crystal Bulls, world-class bragging rights and some nice cash awards await you!<br>
1st: 2.500<br>
2nd 1.500<br>
3rd 1.000<br>
500 each for two top collaborators!<br>
Plus plenty of really cool SWAG!<br>
