[Ica-osgeo-labs] [OpenCitySmart] Urban Transitions Global Summit

Sun Jan 17 06:04:51 PST 2016

Patrick -  this is also is a good venue for the awards for Europa Challenge 2016 esp as the theme is on CitySmart :) Having the award given in Shanghai shows it is international (also gives more outreach in Asia).

If you are interested to follow up this, we can then discuss with Darren and make this happen.

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<mailto: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

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I personally can't go to this, but it is a great idea to have our group do something there.

I guess the first question is, who from the OpenCitySmart community might be able to go?
After that, then we might have a discussion of what would be submitted -- a workshop proposal or a collaborative paper?

One idea on a Workshop might be something around the use of NASA World Wind as a platform with then a couple examples of how people have used it for some Urban-related application? If one theme of our group is moving in that direction, then that might be a motivator for us to get some proof of concepts implemented? Just brain storming here.

Cheers
Charlie
