[FOSS4G2016] topic talks: anybody?

[Arnulf (aka Seven)]

Folks,
I am on the verge of going offline for a week but wanted to give a short 
description of what my thoughts were around the Land Information topic 
beforehand. This is a short abstract (maybe suitable for the website / 
program):

== Land Information ==
The Topic Talk "Land Information" will bring together technical, legal 
and geospatial expertize from an international perspective. We will 
highlight the needs of Land Information Agencies, NGOs and businesses in 
so called developing countries and how they can be supported by Open 
Source technology. We will highlight different approaches to managing 
and monitoring land ranging from traditional surveying to crowd 
sourcing. The objective is to identify which approach is the best fit 
for which purpose and to find ways how they can complement each other.
[EOF]

I hope to be able to get a speaker from the Land Authority in 
Afghanistan but have no confirmation yet.

More when I'm back.

Cheers,
Arnulf
