[Geo4All] Research collaborations in Tangible Landscape ideas

Mon Apr 25 13:15:33 PDT 2016

Suchith,

thank you for kind words about our work - I will be happy to do the webinar
about Tangible Landscape with my team sometimes after FOSS4GNA - perhaps in
June.

Here is a brief update: We are preparing a workshop on how to  develop
applications for Tangible Landscape to be presented at FOSS4GNA - the
material will be available on wiki - we will post the link after the
conference.
Also, we are setting up Open Science Framework for project management for
Tangible Landscape - we will post the link when it is ready.
There will be a wiki where we would like to invite others to share
their developments and ideas - we are very excited to see the interest
that TL is generating.
