[Ica-osgeo-labs] Urban Transitions Global Summit

Tue Jan 12 08:03:21 PST 2016

Hi all,

It would be nice to have something included in the next GeoForAll
newsletter about the OpenCitySmart project.  It is a project that I
personally am particularly interested in as well. I am the North American
co-editor, and we like to include sections on new software/apps/projects in
the OSGeo community.  The wiki still uses future tense for the
OpenCitySmart project, so I assume it is fairly new.

If someone involved close to the heart of this project could write up a
paragraph or two about this project, it could be featured in the next
newsletter. If anyone would like to summarize some key features, go over
some achievements, examples of applications, etc. it would be a great
addition to the newsletter, and you can email it directly to me (
eestrong118 at gmail.com)  An announcement about the conference will be added
as well (with no further action required).

Thank you,
Emma Strong
GIS Coordinator, SMPDD
