[Ica-osgeo-labs] International Map Year 2015 and FOSS4G Europe 2015 Como

[Finn, Michael]

Yes, I agree with Maria. This effort stems from an ICA effort put it is
inclusive. More information, in addition  to
http://internationalmapyear.org, can
be found at http://icaci.org/working-groups/ (duplicated below).

Another point I would make is to work through your national committee to
the ICA or through your country's professional association (such as the
Cartography and Geographic Information Society in the US,
http://www.cartogis.org/.)

Mike Finn

P.S. I feel I am both a Neogeographer (neocartographer) and a
Paleogeographer (cartographer) can one be both?



Working Group on International Map Year <http://icaci.org/working-groups/#>

   - Create a text book on Cartography and Geographic Information for the
   general public;
   - Elaborate plans for national activities and establish national
   contacts;
   - Involve the ICA commissions in the work;
   - Find sponsors among the affiliate members;
   - Establish contacts with the UN and the sister organizations (through
   the ICA Executive Committee and the JBGIS);
   - Produce information that can be used at national Map Days;
   - Follow up and update the working plan at the ICC in Dresden 2013.
