<p>Dear Tomas,</p>
<p>that's a wonderful platform! Please, consider that we have another thematic network that can higly benefit of this information, the one related to VGI and geocrodwsourcing.</p>

<div class="">Hi Charlie & Dimitris,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ve only just joined the urban science mailing list, but a colleague forwarded me your exchange below, so apologies if I’m behind on posts.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I work at the SMART OSGeo Lab, University of Wollongong, Australia. We’ve recently developed an open source framework for mapping geospatial social media interactions:
<a href="http://cognicity.info" class="" target="_blank">http://cognicity.info</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Current focus is on Twitter data, and the platform was used last year by the Jakarta Emergency Management Agency to crowd-source flood disaster reports for real-time response. It would be great to build an open geo community around this if other
people are interested. The Federal Disaster Agency of Indonesia will be using the platform this year, and I’m hoping my students will start contributing to analysis side of the platform this year.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

Hi Charlie,<br class="">
<br class="">
very interesting idea and thanks for sharing.<br class="">
I have actually started for some time now a work along these lines that<br class="">
I will be happy to share. I am putting a very condensed description<br class="">
because I am off for a trip (to US actually) so my time is very limited<br class="">
and I apologize to that but if you or anybody else find this interesting<br class="">
please let me know.<br class="">
So we have created a platform that process tweets in real time and tries<br class="">
to identifies important events based on that (like e.g. an earthquake or<br class="">
even a football game). Part of the work was to explore the tweets we<br class="">
collect through some spatial analytics lenses trying to understand for<br class="">
example simple things like the tweets distribution in Greece according<br class="">
to space and time e.g. within a week. This is quite simple but it is a<br class="">
start. I had to leave it there because the project funding was limited.<br class="">
OK, this is preliminary work but the platform works quite OK. I have not<br class="">
released this yet but the plan is to be of course open source. It is<br class="">
something that needs some more support to become really operational to a<br class="">
more professional level but it is there.<br class="">
<br class="">
So if of interest please let me know and we can keep the conversation<br class="">
running,<br class="">
I hope I did not confuse everybody!<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards,<br class="">
<br class="">
Dimitris<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">

Hi GeoForAll Urban Science thematic,<br class="">
<br class="">
1) I have a graduate student interested in this topic. Does anyone know of<br class="">
any good geocrowdsourcing training literature around how one approaches the<br class="">
spatial analysis of tweets or other social media posts?<br class="">
<br class="">
2) It would be great if we could somehow get operational a communication<br class="">
platform like the one <a href="http://PublicLab.org" class="" target="_blank">PublicLab.org</a> has where we could have students post<br class="">
research notes [1] that other interested people in our group or outside of<br class="">
the group could monitor. For example, people interested in the above topic<br class="">
or other topics. Any ideas on how we might do that? I'm copying Jeff<br class="">
McKenna because this could be something that would reside on the OSGeo web<br class="">
platform. I think what I am suggesting is a little different than a wiki or<br class="">
a blog... any ideas on how we might implement such an idea?<br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers,<br class="">
<br class="">
