<div>Hi!<br>
<br>
Please find below the draft of Pradeep and me "Invitation to contribute to the Scientific Committee and as reviewer".<br>
<br>
Any comments until tomorrow (Monday) evening are welcome!<br>
<br>
Viele Grüße / Best regards<br>
<br>

The <b>Geospatial Open Source community</b> strives together with the<b> OSGeo Foundation</b> for excellence in all their endeavours to achieve the highest levels of learned interactions through its FOSS4G conferences. Each conference is a milestone as well
as a stepping stone for the FOSS GIS community as well as for the whole world which, with each passing day, realizes that FOSS is the way forward in the post-Kyoto world of
<b>sustainability</b>.<br>
<br>
The annual <b>FOSS4G conference</b>, being held in <b>2016 in Bonn, Germany (24 -- 26 Aug)</b>, is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software. FOSS4G brings together developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad
spectrum of organizations and fields of operation. Through six days of workshops, presentations, discussions, and cooperation, FOSS4G participants create effective and relevant geospatial products, standards, and protocols.
<br>
<br>
To enable FOSS4G to achieve its aims and foster the spirit of openness in geospatial computing, this call is made for all who are interested in the FOSS4G philosophy to express interest in<b> becoming part of the Scientific Committee</b> (SC) of the upcoming
FOSS4G conference. Potential topics are listed at the bottom of<br>
<br>
The SC will steer the course of the conference, and will decide on the tracks, the lead speakers, the sessions, the chairs, and of course the presentations that will be made. In addition recommendations for further publication of selected papers in TGIS, IJC,
or OSGeo Journal can be given.<br>
<br>
Additionally we welcome you and other scientists to express their interest for a key input that sustains the quality of presentations and publications in each FOSS4G, i.e.,
<b>reviewing the submissions</b>!<br>
<br>
Please send expressions of interest to participate in the SC and/or reviewers panel to the chairs listed below.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your support!<br>
<br>
Yours truly,<br>
<br>
<br>
Franz-Josef Behr and A.P. Pradeepkumar<br>
