[Geo4All] NSF ROGER User Meeting -- May 12 (Thursday), 2016: 11am-2pm (CDT)

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Shaowen for sharing this info. This might be of wider interest esp. to the OpenCitySmart[1].

btw we are having a Think Tank meeting on Urban BigGeoData and OpenCitySmart [2] on 8th June 2016. It will be good if you or Anand can join us remotely for 15 minutes to share your ideas on ROGER esp. for Urban Analytics.

Best wishes,

Suchith
