GIS" slated for publication next year. I am supposed to get a copy to<br>review later this year. I don't know who is writing it but there is<br>supposed to be a chapter on web-based geospatial systems.<br><br>Interestingly enough, there was enough interest in getting beyond GIS
<br>(desktop) and move into supporting the next generation "Manual of Web-based<br>Geospatial Systems" (there may be a better title). And ASPRS will publish<br>it!<br><br>However, it will take a small group of people to develop an outline and
<br>write chapters. The bottom line is developing a stand-alone bible/manual<br>that anyone can pick-up and find answers.<br><br>Something to think about...<br><br><br>for the meeting tonight, I can make it as well but I only see Dave B
<br>coming. Anyone else or should it be cancelled for this month.<br><br><br>Alternatively,<br><br>If anyone is going to the 2007 Remote Sensing Workshop planning meeting at<br>LMIC on Friday:<br><br><br>I've heard back from most of you regarding a time and place for our
<br>inaugural meeting.? The best suitable time seems to be:<br><br>Friday, November 17<br>10:30 am to noon<br>Room 304 Centennial Office Building<br><br>With your permission, I'll tentatively book it.? We can have a speaker
<br>phone available so Gerry in Duluth can join us telephonically.<br><br>If you can't make it, please let me know.<br><br>The goal of our first meeting will be to begin establishing expectations *<br>in the program content, duration, scheduling, invited speakers' list,
<br>intended participants, venue, registration options, etc.? We'll try to<br>address all these issues broadly and assign committee members to dive into<br>them more deeply off-line.? If you think this list might be missing
<br>something, please let me know.<br><br>I learned last week in a teleconference with the workshop sponsors that 10<br>similar workshops are being planned in other states.? Most are only<br>slightly ahead of us in their planning, and range from elementary to highly
<br>specialized.? For example:<br><br> * Vermont is planning a Remote Sensing 101 program to try and<br> bring all members of its statewide Spatial Data Partnership<br> organization up to speed on the technology.
<br> * New Jersey's workshop is being organized through Rutgers<br> University and is geared toward a general government audience but<br> focused specifically on LiDAR technology; with hands-on education
<br> through the use of QT Modeler ( <a href="http://www.appliedimagery.com/">http://www.appliedimagery.com/</a> ) and<br> presentations by USGS staff representing the CLICK Project (Center<br> for LIDAR Information Coordination and Knowledge:
<br> <a href="http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov/)">http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov/)</a>.? The goal of the workshop is to develop a<br> statewide LiDAR users group.<br> * Wisconsin is working through the State Cartographer's Office
<br> and focusing on Geospatial Technology more broadly than just remote<br> sensing with a thematic eye toward applications in the area of<br> Emergency Management.? The workshop will be coupled with the state's
<br> Governor's Conference on Emergency Management and Homeland Security<br> to be held sometime in the spring of 2007.<br><br>The key here is to let you know that we have lots of latitude.? So be<br>prepared to bring your best ideas forward.
<br><br>I'll send a message out early next week to confirm the meeting, just as<br>soon as I hear from the rest of the group.<br><br>Many thanks,<br><br>Chris<br><br>Christopher Cialek<br>MN Land Management Information Center
