[Ica-osgeo-labs] [FOSS4G 2016] Invitation to become member of the Scientific Committee and for review

[Franz-Josef Behr]

Dear colleagues,

this year I am (co-) chairing again the Academic / Scientific Track of 
the FOSS4G conference [1]. While Barend is contributing this time as 
member of the Scientific Committee I am collaborating with Pradeep from 
Kerala University with whom I already organized several scientific 
events before. Pradeep is also on the way of establishing a 
Ica-osgeo-lab at Kerala University in 2016.

For the Academic / Scientific Track of FOSS4G 2016, being held in in 
Bonn, Germany (24 -- 26 Aug), we are looking for colleagues to set up a 
*Scientific Committee (SC)* coupled with the local Programme Committee.

Our SC will steer the course of the conference, and will decide on the 
tracks, the lead speakers, the sessions, the chairs, and of course the 
presentations that will be made. In addition recommendations for further 
publication of selected papers in TGIS, IJC, or OSGeo Journal can be given.

The deadline for paper submission is March 21th 2016. Hence our main 
work will start afterwards.

And, of course, we need support regarding the dissemination of the /Call 
for Papers /[2]. I attach the CfP document for /further distribution/.

Please send your expression of interest to participate in the SC and/or 
reviewers panel to Pradeep and me using this email address:

academictrack at foss4g2016.org

My hope is that we can move together the idea of Openess in Geospatial 
IT, data, education, and standards significantly forward by intensified 
integration of academia in the context of FOSS4G.

Best regards - Franz-Josef
