<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Helena for this. This is excellent ideas.<br>
<br>
For CitySmart latest updates, I hope Patrick and others can contribute ideas. I was at the Heritage for Planet Earth conference in Florence last week where the students and SMEs presented thier latest work on this. Really impressive developments that the students
working on this are making.<br>

Best wishes,<br>

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] GeoForAll at FOSS4G 2017 - abstracts deadline March 21<br>
<br>
Dear geoforall community,<br>
<br>
As you probably know the deadline for submitting abstracts to the Global FOSS4G 2017, Boston<br>
is tomorrow March 21 !<br>
<br>
<a href="http://2017.foss4g.org/call-for-presentations/" target="_blank">http://2017.foss4g.org/call-for-presentations/</a><br>
<br>
I am planning to submit an abstract on "State of GeoForAll in 2017" but<br>
please let me know if you have already submitted an abstract on GeoForAll in general or some specific<br>
initiative so that we can coordinate.<br>
<br>
I have updated the wiki set up by Charlie - please add your workshop or abstract info<br>
so that we can work with the LOC to have GeoForAll represented in an effective and visible way,<br>
your association with geoforall may not be always visible in your submission.<br>
Here is the wiki:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll/FOSS4GBoston" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll/FOSS4GBoston</a><br>
<br>
This is a great opportunity to get together, share our work and plan for the future, so I have also added<br>
a section for meetings if you would like to discuss collaborations and initiatives such as<br>
Smart cities <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Opencitysmart" target="_blank">
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Opencitysmart</a>,<br>
Citizen science <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geocrowdsourcing_CitizenScience_FOSS4G" target="_blank">
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geocrowdsourcing_CitizenScience_FOSS4G</a>,<br>
and Suchith or others can probably add many more.<br>
<br>
Thank you, Helena<br>
