[OpenCitySmart] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Urban Transitions Global Summit

Sun Jan 17 02:55:04 PST 2016

Hi Charlie and everyone,

Some good ideas. If anyone has some examples of people using WorldWind and/or any other Open Source Geospatial Platform for urban related applications this would make an interesting topic.

I will attend if there is enough interest from others in the opencitysmart community to come together? Are there any others interested in attending and if so what tool/s – applications would you like to present? If we get enough interest in the next couple of days we could cobble together a workshop agenda which is due the 20th.

I would be interested in presenting the work we have done in developing and applying the
Online What if? Tool: http://aurin.org.au/projects/portal-and-infrastructure/what-if/
And Envision Scenario planning tool: http://aurin.org.au/projects/lens-sub-projects/esp/

Regards
Chris

PS fingers crossed for the NSF proposal.

P.S. No news yet on the NSF proposal some of us submitted. Status is still "pending". It was submitted in September, it went under review in November. They say decisions can be made up to 6 months, so it may be even into March... (but probably sooner).

Cheers,
Charlie

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I personally can't go to this, but it is a great idea to have our group do something there.

I guess the first question is, who from the OpenCitySmart community might be able to go?
After that, then we might have a discussion of what would be submitted -- a workshop proposal or a collaborative paper?

One idea on a Workshop might be something around the use of NASA World Wind as a platform with then a couple examples of how people have used it for some Urban-related application? If one theme of our group is moving in that direction, then that might be a motivator for us to get some proof of concepts implemented? Just brain storming here.

Cheers
Charlie
