[Ica-osgeo-labs] GeoforAll meeting @ FOSS4G Europe 2015

[Stefan Keller]

Hi Suchith

Thanks for your initiative for a GeoForAll meeting at FOSS4G 2015 in
Como, Italy.
I'm planning to contribute to the conference and to attend it.
Regarding your call for thoughts/ideas it's difficult at least for me
to answer - except pointing to the news that the Swiss gov't just
approved to fully participate at H2020 :-)
My proposal is that each lab perhaps could post a research or
imeplementation proposal sketch (either to H2020 or Open Source SW
like QGIS/PostGIS) to a wiki page before the meeting.

Yours, Stefan

> We are planning Geo For All meeting at FOSS4G 2014 in Como, Italy. It will
> be great opportunity esp. for all our labs in Europe to meet and discuss
> ideas for joint collaborations esp. various H2020 calls etc. Also we need to
> make use of available opportunities like Google Summer of Code to build good
> projects and collaborations between our labs.
>
>
>
> For example last year  Dr Luciene Delazari (Federal University of Parana,
> Brazil),  Piotr Pociask (GIS Support Sp, Warsaw) and Dr Mark Ware
> (University of South Wales) joined together for supervising the
> Schematization Plugin for QGIS project that student Nishith Maheshwari (IIIT
> Hyderabad, India) carried out. Not only it will help produce a joint
> research paper but will now  enable more collaborative research ideas for
> the map generalization research community for extending this as an open
> schematization platform which other students in future can use to build
> upon. It is an excellent example of how we can build ideas for collaborative
> research for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs for the future. This will also help us
> build ideas for next year’s GSoC by having members of ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs
> network collaborate on other interesting ideas.

>
>
> Dear all,
>
> the FOSS4G Europe 2015 website is quite ready, and we need to have the call
> for abstracts/workshops published soon.
>
> I please ask all the committees involved (1-workshops, 2-general track,
> 3-academic track, 4-water track, 5-open data track, 6-library track,
> 7-indoor/outdoor positioning and mapping) to start working, in order to:
>
> 1) set up the track committee (especially for those committees that are
> still composed of very few people) trying to make it as "European" as
> possiblle, i.e. with many countries represented;
>
> 2) prepare the text of the call: as general guidelines, this can be a
> 10-lines description plus (where relevant) a list of possible themes;
>
> 3) decide the form of contributions you are expecting. As we'll produce
> proceedings for the conference, we suggest all the committees to ask at
> least for an abstract; then, please decide whether you plan also to ask for
> a paper. This will be specified in the call;
>
> 4) (if you also plan to have papers) contact journal editors for publishing
> a special issue related to your topic.
>
> Each committee will be then responsible for selecting the abstracts/papers
> and of course for managing its session. And the leader of each committee is
> responsible for the committee!
>
> For your personal discussions, please remember to use the private mailing
> list enabling the filter on your topic. Instructions on how to do it were in
> Jorge's e-mail, but if you have doubts just ask me.
>
> Let's fix as deadline for 1) and 2) (especially for writing the text of the
> call to be put on the website) Tuesday, October 28. This means you have one
> week!
