[GeoForAll-Iberoamerica] Inputs needed by 22nd Nov for OSGeo Budget proposal

Sun Nov 19 04:15:48 PST 2017

I agree Maria. I will request Charlie to help prepare the open call for this as this is his idea/proposal. We  need to make sure that there is funding available for this. I understand that Charlie has some ideas for potential student candidate who has expertise and  hopefully will apply when we send the the open call. If there are more interested candidates interested to participate in this project please contact Charlie directly.  The more the better.

May I request some volunteers to form a committee for this and help Charlie. It will be helpful if you can also join the committee to prepare a "Call for Project"  as there is synergies with the UN OpenGIS activities also.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Suchith, I agree. It is a good proposal! Thanks a lot!

I ask you only to pay attention about the fact  that the project can't be assigned without an open call. Therefore we need to write a "Call for Project" and then have a Commission judging the applications. Probably you already had in mind that, but it is better to make it clearer.

Happy sunday.

Maria

Oggetto: [Geo4All] Inputs needed by 22nd Nov for OSGeo Budget proposal

Dear All,

Following Charlie’s excellent webinar and discussions , I think it is important that we follow up these ideas asap to make possible 2-4 concrete multi-GeoForAll lab educational content collaborations.

I am proposing that we will request OSGeo Board for USD 2500 for a short student project (Charlie will supervise) to make this happen. Charlie has already excellent ideas and good candidates who have already shown interest , so I am confident it will deliver the impact that we need.

I also propose that 7500 USD is kept for OSGeo student awards at FOSS4G local conferences. These awards will be decided and given by the FOSS4G LoC.

The total budget that I will ask the Board is 10k USD

Please send us your comments before 22nd Nov.  I will send the request to the Board on Thursday, 23 November 2017.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Thank you Rafael.

Charlie, great ideas that you put forward. Thank you for this. Once you email the action ideas to the community , it will help us to bring in interested colleagues to start making these possible.

Best wishes,

The same as Antoni, I won't be able to attend. Let's hope someone from GeoForAll Iberoamérica can finally do it as it sure will be of great interest to the community. It will be great if we at GeoForAll IbA can do something similar in the near future.

Dear GeoForAll community,

I appreciate the opportunity to speak to some of you tomorrow at 7:00 PM GMT in the GeoForAll webinar [1]. The goal is to discuss how we can create some real substantive collaborations across GeoForAll labs.

One favor (even if you can't attend). Could you take this brief survey about GeoForAll lab collaboration by 5:00 PM GMT tomorrow?

Thank you!

****************************************

[1] To join participatory webinar: https://ucdenver.zoom.us/j/563231430
7:00 PM GMT, Friday November 10th

"Can we initiate GeoForAll lab collaborative education and/or research?"

We undoubtedly agree: The GeoForAll network is terrific. We have ~120 labs scattered throughout the world, we’ve identified some collaborative research and education areas (e.g., OpenCitySmart, GeoAgriculture), and there are some significant collaboration going on across nodes, such as the NASA Europa Challenge. But we may have only scratched the surface on what we can, collectively, accomplish. Can we do even better?

In this participatory webinar, Charlie Schweik of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, will be posing the question to the GeoForAll community: Can we initiate and “incubate” some GeoForAll collaborative research or educational projects? After presenting this idea in more detail, we will open the webinar to community discussion and how to possibly move, collectively, forward.
