[Ica-osgeo-labs] Pre-AAG Workshop on "Open GIS: New Opportunities for Research and Education, " April 7, 2014

[Helena Mitasova]

Serge, Dan,

Thank you very much for for the invitation, I did not plan to come to AAG, but I am wondering whether there will be anybody from our rapidly expanding
ICA-OSGeo network represented to provide update on the current state of the initiative and perhaps show some examples of collaborations
that we have already in place. The workshop sounds really interesting so I will check my schedule and get back to you if I can come.

For those on this list who have not yet heard about the network, you can learn more here:

and if you already have an established open source geospatial research and/or education and are interested to join, please let us know,
new members are welcome!

Best regards,

Helena

Our workshop will be one full day on April 7, 2014, which means you need to arrive in Tampa, no later than April 6, 2014.

An edited volume is planned based upon the talks given at this workshop.

At this point, we just need a confirmation on two items: 1). whether you are interested in attending the pre-AAG Open GIS workshop; 2). In case you are unable to attend the pre-AAG workshop, but still attend the AAG meeting, please let us whether you are interested in getting involved in a panel (or paper session) devoted to open GIS during the 2014 AAG meeting.  Of course, you are more than welcome to attend the pre-AAG workshop and serve on the open GIS panel.
