[Geo4All] Fwd: Reminder - Call for abstracts XVI Biennial IASC-Conference (Utrecht, July 2017) - deadline abstracts 15 October 2016

Hi Charlie,

Many thanks for this. I also see lot of synergies that we should expand. Please coordinate a panel session or track as you think is best and we will encourage our colleagues to join efforts for this. I am happy to coauthor an article for this with interested colleagues.

Best wishes,

Suchith

GeoForAll and OSGeo colleagues (especially European colleagues),

See the below for an announcement of a "call for abstracts" for July 2017's International Association for the Study of the Commons conference to be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands. I've mentioned this before, but I thought I'd raise it again because abstract submissions are due on October 15th. My hope via this email is that we can build a "track" of papers for this conference around open source Geospatial software and education.

I'd like to remind you that what we are doing in OSGeo and GeoForAll are building software and education "commons." Free/Libre and Open Source software are a form of internet-based "Common Property Regimes" [1].

The International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC), is a well-established scholarly association where most (but not all) people focus on natural resource commons (fisheries, water resources, forests, the atmosphere). But may in this conference (1) would be quite interested in learning about open source GIS for possible use in their natural resource-related studies (and many participants come from developing world contexts where open source may be readily adopted). But I and others are trying to build a "track" in IASC about software and other digital "commons" such as databases in a general area we call "Knowledge Commons" (see the video we created here for more on that [2]).

If anyone thinks they might be interested in trying to join in and submit something coordinated for this conference, let me know, and tell me what your topic might be. It would be nice to at least have a panel session of OSGeo-GeoForAll topics and I'd be happy to coordinate this. I'm also hoping we can have at least one pre-conference workshop on some OSGeo software product. Probably something for more "beginner" GIS people, but not necessarily. Again, contact me if you have ideas and interest in doing something.

I think connecting to IASC could help us in our continued expansion of both OSGeo and GeoForAll.

Thanks,

Charlie Schweik

Reminder - Only ten more days to submit abstracts for XVI Biennial IASC-Conference 'Practicing the Commons' (Utrecht, 10-14 July 2017) - deadline for abstracts 15 October 2016

The IASC and the local organizers of the XVI Biennial Conference welcome abstracts (500 words max.) for papers, panels, and posters to be presented at this global conference, to be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, from 10 to 14 July 2017. Abstracts with a maximum of 500 words for paper, panel, or poster, can be submitted until 15 October 2016; notification of review results will be available in December 2016/January 2017.

With the theme of the conference, “Practicing the Commons: Self-Governance, Cooperation, and Institutional Change”, we intend to bring together the fast growing body of scientific knowledge on the commons as an alternative governance model from all over the world. The increasing popularity of commons as a governance model is visible across the Netherlands, as well as elsewhere around the world. Citizens increasingly form new collectives to provide energy, care, food, et cetera, and work together on the basis of self-governance and reciprocity. An overview of the main themes to be addressed, including a list of potential research questions that might be the topic of paper presentation, can be found via the conference website at http://www.iasc2017.org/calls/call-for-papers/. Soon, a call for contributions to practitioners’ labs will also be issued.
