[Suchith Anand]

OpenCitySmart team - this might be a good opportunity to propose a session for OpenCitySmart and get excellent contributions from the community. Can one of you take initiative to get this session organised. Thanks.

Patrick - this is a good venue for the awards for Europa Challenge 2016 :)

Best wishes,

Suchith

Subject: OGRS 2016 - Call for papers

Dear OGRS Community members,

The OGRS Community steering committee is pleased to announce the next edition of OGRS, in Perugia, Italy, 12/14 October 2016. The main scope of the 2016 symposium is within the general scope of OGRS events (see founding articles on the ogrs-community.org<http://ogrs-community.org> website). In summary, the 2016 symposium aims at bringing together students, technicians, researchers, developers and teachers working in different disciplines but with the common interest of using and developing Open Source Geospatial software and Open Data (when managed using Geospatial Open Source software).

OGRS2016 (2016.ogrs-community.org<http://2016.ogrs-community.org>) is an exchange platform that will offer two days of presentations and one day of workshops. Grouped by thematic sessions, presentations (including posters as well) are about original and recent research results, educational practices and innovation experiences. Workshops are hands-on sessions on a specific theme and software with an educational component, reinforcing the education side of the symposium.

All OGRS publications will be released in collaboration with PeerJ Open Access publisher. On one hand, the short papers (1000-1500 words) submitted to OGRS2016 will be published in the proceedings of the Symposium in the frame of PeerJ Preprint. Moreover, the best contributions selected by the OGRS Scientific Committee will be invited to submit an article to the PeerJ Computer Science journal, Spatial and Geographic Information Systems subject.
