Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Next week, we have two meetings planned in the USA (one in Denver and one in New Mexico) where there is further opportunities to expand the discussions and ideas on Open Geospatial Science – Vision 2030 [1] and how we can build synergies towards the vision
of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for building a better world for all.<br>
<br>
Advancing GIScience with Open Source Technologies meetings are organised by the ICA Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies at AutoCarto 2016, USA . Details at
