<p>Hi #osgeolive list --</p>
<p> for those of you who have interests in the upcoming remote
sensing and cloud tech OSS day, here are a few things that
OSGeoLive could be part of .. <br>
</p>
<p> <b>User Needs, Accessibility</b> : QGis built-in help and user
interface are available in French, Spanish and dozens of other
languages, and some other apps on the disk. Built-in data
examples like Natural Earth2 have some internationalization.<br>
</p>
<p> <b>GDAL on Debian/Ubuntu</b> an up-to-date GDAL and Proj
combination is still a good thing to have, several years after
Proj6 changes were made and stabilized. Upcoming Proj9 shows that
there is yet more to come, packaged as dot-deb for Ubuntu.<br>
</p>
<p><b> Actinia STAC</b> : install alpha details here [0]<br>
<b></b></p>
<p><b> Java GeoTools implementors</b></p>
<p> <b>Opendatacube</b> : certainly is in the center of the mix
for a day called "cloud geospatial." Core technology used in
Digital Earth Africa and elsewhere. Q. How can OSGeoLive cooperate
with Digital Earth Africa to perhaps check the check mark in CEOS
ARD Strategy 2021 [1]. quote:<br>
</p>
<p> 2021 CEOS ARD Strategy Doc -- Table of Activity : Section 3.
Accessibility and User Needs</p>
<p> <b>User Needs </b> Section 3.6 Capture the Value and Benefits
of CEOS ARD</p>
<p>"Leverage studies conducted by CEOS agencies and partners
including GEO, Digital Earth Africa and others to communicate the
value of CEOS ARD."</p>
<p> What I mean to say is, OSGeoLive itself is a base upon which
gallery and user-facing collateral can be added. OSGeo Community
Project Opendatacube is participating in cloud geospatial day.
OSGeoLive has international support at a number of levels built
in, notably Spanish and French user interfaces and help docs.<br>
</p>
<p>OSGeoLive might support this cloud geospatial event some
appropriate way, supporting one or more projects, facing new and
established audiences. The audiences certainly include
non-English speaking, for example French and Spanish.</p>
<p>Personally, on the Cloud Geo day topic, I believe it is part of
an inclusive goal here to recognize that people with <br>
different economic backgrounds, with physical disabilities, with
ADHD or other mental stress, <br>
are part of the audience for GIS programming, and we support those
individuals with training materials, <br>
basic updates and inclusion. OSGeoLive is a resource for
individuals who want to try, who want to learn, <br>
and have real-world projects. No matter what the background or
condition, there is room to make and <br>
participate, within reason.<br>
</p>
<p> feedback welcome</p>
