Hi all,

If Jorge is interested in, I could take it in charge with him. I have 
already been involved in lot of program or scientific committees and I 
have also organised different scientific tracks, workshops or events. In 
addition, as a co-chair of ICA WG on open source geospatial technologies 
  (see http://ica-opensource.scg.ulaval.ca), I will be very happy to 
engage a first effective collaboration between ICA and OSGeo around an 
academic/scientific track with publication of selected papers as an 
edited book.

Cheers,

Th.
