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

Sun Jan 17 04:27:08 PST 2016

Hi,

On my end, with colleagues, I've been working on two things that might be
loosely related (but I can't attend this).

1) Developing a Web-GIS class using Postgres, PostGIS, pgAdmin, Geoserver
and Leaflet.
2) A small team of students have been working on an arduino-based ozone
sensor and data logger.

What are others on this list working on?

Charlie
