a Web-GIS course this spring. We hope to propose giving a talk on our course and experience in Raleigh - at least one of us will be there. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It would be nice to have something included in the next GeoForAll newsletter about the OpenCitySmart project. It is a project that I personally am particularly interested in as well. I am the North American co-editor, and we like to include
sections on new software/apps/projects in the OSGeo community. The wiki still uses future tense for the OpenCitySmart project, so I assume it is fairly new. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If someone involved close to the heart of this project could write up a paragraph or two about this project, it could be featured in the next newsletter. If anyone would like to summarize some key features, go over some achievements, examples
of applications, etc. it would be a great addition to the newsletter, and you can email it directly to me (<a href="mailto:eestrong118@gmail.com" target="_blank">eestrong118@gmail.com</a>) An announcement about the conference will be added as well (with no
further action required).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
