[Ica-osgeo-labs] New GeoForAll Thematic group? Geospatial Open Environmental Sensor Networks?

Thu Mar 31 06:22:14 PDT 2016

Dear Charlie,

Trying to find a way to support your effort, I will make an announcement in the coming issue of April.

I hope that people will read it and get in contact with you or with Rick.

I suppose that the issue will be ready for publication in April 7-8 and not earlier because I will be in Paris for a few days for a meeting.

Wishes

Nikos

Thanks Lene and others for your interest!

My colleague Rick Peltier [1] -- who is an excellent atmospheric chemist and who is leading the Air Sensors Everywhere effort and gave the introductory webinar -- did a great job of kicking this air sensor everywhere topic off. 

For those who attended or look at the webinar -- One thing that perhaps could have been emphasized more was our hope to develop international collective action in this area. Our hope is that perhaps there is a subset of interested people in our GeoForAll labs to perhaps start a "small geospatial environmental sensor" effort. We know there are others working in this space already...

Further, this connects to the Volunteer Geographic Information or GeoCrowdsourcing or Citizen Science component of GeoForAll too. I plan to work on a revised submission to our National Science Foundation for our OpenStreetSmart effort (we received a "high prioirity" ranking in our last submission, but were not funded, so I'm resubmitting).  In that resubmission I plan to focus our efforts a bit more, and so I think low-cost geoexplicit environmental sensors that feed NASA Worldwind would be one such area of focus.

In short, should we create a new GeoForAll thematic that is on "Open Geospatial Environmental Sensor Networks" and start seeing who all in our network is interested in this topic?

Cheers

Charlie

That's a pity. I would have participated but i saw it was canceled. 

Keep in touch.

Hi Sven, GeoForAll colleagues,

Sven: I don't know why your email is being sent out saying our Air Sensors Everywhere Webinar is being cancelled??? 

It is ON and will begin in 1 hour!

Information on how to attend is here: http://blogs.umass.edu/ase/ase-events/online-webinars/

If there are some on this list interested in OpenCitySmart or the open source environmental sensors (including the OGC open sensor standards people), we hope you'll consider participating!

We're trying to build an international collaboration in this area.

Cheers,

Charlie Schweik
