[Ica-osgeo-labs] OpenGIS examples in research and teaching for building Master "Geo for All" presentation

[Suchith Anand]

Dear All,

We are now getting lot of invitations to present "Geo for All" initiative at all key Geospatial conferences/events, which is great news and clearly shows the growing importance of OpenGIS for the future of Geospatial research and education.

I thought, this will be a good time to build up a presentation highlighting key teaching and research done by all of us in OpenGIS. Could i request you to email me 1 or 2 slides of key research and education activities (ideally with some pictures) in your lab and we can use that to prepare a master presentation that any of us can use for any presentation needed. For example in the next month alone , i know Helena will be presenting at UCGIS conference  http://ucgis.org/event-item/preliminary-schedule   where there will be a panel and discussion on Open Geospatial Education , Jeremy is presenting at European Geosciences Union (EGU)  http://www.egu2014.eu/    conference at the OSGeo Townhall meeting, I will be presenting at Geospatial World Forum   http://www.geospatialworldforum.org/2014/  and later in May for Brazil NSDI meetings in Brasília  etc.

So whenever any of us in our network wants to present about "Geo for All" initiative  they have a set of slides giving good breadth of examples to choose from for their presentation and we can keep it updated. We can also invite other colleagues who are using OpenGIS for their teaching and research who are not joined our network yet to send examples of their work to build more collaborations. Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith
