[Ica-osgeo-labs] Urban Commons - Upcoming "The City as Commons" IASC conference in Italy in November

[Charles Schweik]

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the reminder to our community. We actually were already
discussing this after seeing your reminder email. I unfortunately can't
make it, but we *are hoping that someone from our European group can*. In
my view, the connection between our GeoForAll urban analytics thematic
effort, and the community that will be at your IASC conference is a very
important one to make.

Thanks for the reminder and all the best in your conference!

Charlie

P.S. Let's keep this connection going, and plan to somehow have an 'Urban
Commons' track in the Global IASC conference in Utrecht, Netherlands in
2017 [1]! I can envision some technology-related workshop and/or set of
panels around open geographic science 'Smart City' commons approaches.
