[FOSS4G2016] spontaneous planning meeting today

[Andrea Giacomelli]

Dear Till- thanks for the additional context information.

EARSeL brings a lot of memories back...the first event in which I made a
presentation was an EARSeL workshop in Scotland, a long time ago ;)

The general idea that you are exposing is very much in line with the core
of my activities, and with Germany we have quite a good link deriving from
various projects.

Through the month of October I will need to be focused on other projects,
but in the meantime I will be interested in following the developments for
the preparation of the "Bonner GeoSummer" event.

I will also do a little brainstorming with our core group to what extent we
will be able to commit from our team in Italy (the issue is not so much
working from a remote location, but the resources required and the
scheduling of these with other things we are planning)

Best regards!

> Hi Andrea, @list,

> I take Andreas email to sum up the idea about the "Bonner GeoSummer" in my

> ideas. In this context, first Andreas, many thanks for your ideas and input.
> In general your understanding is more or less correct, the main difference
> is, that not only we (the LOC) are planning calendar activities.

> There is a group consisting of Professor Greve, who is responsible for the
> EARSEL conference, taking place in June 2016 in Bonn, us, the LOC FOSS4G,
> the administration of Bonn, the chamber of commerce Bonn, and some others,
> having the plan to connect these two big Geo-related conferences through
> this "GeoSummer". If there are suitable events, taking place in between,
> this would help us to reach our goals. The general idea is, to attract more
> and different people to the conferences on the one side, especially for us,
> to prosper the ideas of our community but also to promote the region here
> as a place, where a lot of geo-business and knowledge is located.

>> We can provide a few sensors and guidance to use them.
