[Geo4All] Do you want to do a webinar about FOSS4G for Geo4All?

Thu Feb 9 03:36:25 PST 2017

Dear Rafael,

Concerning webinars, I would like to submit a proposal from Italy (Southern
Tuscany, to be more precise).

We are in fact in the tenth anniversary of an operation which has been
intertwining culture, environment, and open innovation since 2006,
involving a group of Italians.

The group has been evolving and relating to various legal entities, while
always retaining its nature of what may be defined as a "loose integration"
paradigm for collaboration.

I have been one of the founding members of the Italian (or
italian-language...?) OSGEO Chapter, then creating my own small NGO
(Attivarti.org) , gradually interacting with small-medium enterprises,
national research institutes, universities etc.

I will be presenting a poster about this in the upcoming FOSS4G-IT event in
Genova, in a couple of hours.

We will then be having three events at the end of February, related to our
participatory light pollution monitoring project, and have the Open Data
Day following.

Putting a lot of projects into a single perspective, I might sum the whole
story proposing that the webinar would deal with "how free/open source
geomatics can integrate in local communities (mainly rural) to improve
resilience and quality of life.

...the webinar might also represent a way of summarizing in almost over
nine years afert this:
http://www.pibinko.org/riflessioni-sul-tematismo-on-freeopen-source-gis/ ,
and engaging most of the people and territories you see in the video in the
projects which you find detailed in www.pibinko.org and www.attivarti.org

If you think this can be a topic of interest, I can discuss the case with
my colleagues and we can lay out a plan to deliver the webinar (no sooner
than May).

Thank you for your attention, and best regards

Andrea Giacomelli
