Dear All</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
I had a meeting with Nicolas Paparoditis, the Director of the XXIV ISPRS Congress in Nice (June 2020) [1].<br>
<div>There are many interesting points.<br>
</div>
<div>1) Around 3500-4000 participants will attend. It is the main Congress of ISPRS (every other 4 years).<br>
</div>
<div>2) Nicolas proposed OSGeo to co-organise a Forum about "Openness and Innovation". The Forum can last one or more days. He will send me more details about the Forums in the next days. I will circulate it with the people who are interested.<br>
</div>
<div>3) He proposed us also to organize 2 mapathons: one humanitarian mapathon and a mapathon for enriching the OSM data in Nice, using higher resolution imagery (they can provide them) and data (for instance heights of the buildings) obtained with photogrammetric
packages. These are the starting ideas but we can work on them<br>
</div>
<div>4) He is offering us an OSGeo booth if we help with the previous tasks.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is very in summary and it is just the beginning.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As already said, we are creating now a team of OSGeo people who are interested in attending the conference and organizing events and activities there.<br>
</div>
<div>Helena created a wiki page [2] for that. <br>
</div>

<div>I contacted Nicolas Paparoditis (Director of the ISPRS Congress) and I have a meeting with him next Tuesday. He will tell me how the Forum will be organised. Please add your email to the wiki page in such a way that I will directly write to the people
interested in collaborating to the organisation instead of spamming the discuss mailing list. </div>
<div>If there is somebody from the industrial branch of the community who want to take the leadership for the Pavilion, this is the last call.</div>

<br>
<br>
As a follow up to Maria’s call, as you probably know, we have a MoU <br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS</a> with ISPRS and these kind of
<br>
activities are good examples of opportunities that the MoU covers. I <br>
have set up a wiki page where you can sign up if you are interested in <br>
helping out to organize an OSGeo Pavilion and a forum (or several fora) <br>
on all things Open-Geo at the ISPRS congress in Nice in 2020. <br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGEO_at_ISPRS2020">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGEO_at_ISPRS2020</a><br>
<br>
Please sign up on the wiki by June 1 (next Friday) so that we can see <br>
how much interest there is and we will prepare the answer to ISPRS <br>
congress organizers based on the interest from the community. Here is <br>
the congress website again: <a href="http://www.isprs2020-nice.com/">http://www.isprs2020-nice.com/</a><br>
<br>
Thank you all for supporting this excellent opportunity,<br>
<br>
Helena<br>
