Next year’s AAG meeting is April 8-12, 2014.

An edited volume is planned based upon the talks given at this workshop. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> We are still working on the logistic details for the workshop. At this point, we just need a confirmation on two items: 1). whether you are interested in attending the pre-AAG Open GIS workshop; 2). In case you are unable to attend the pre-AAG workshop, but still attend the AAG meeting, please let us whether you are interested in getting involved in a panel (or paper session) devoted to open GIS during the 2014 AAG meeting. Of course, you are more than welcome to attend the pre-AAG workshop and serve on the open GIS panel.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Please reply by Oct. 1, 2013 if you can.
