For the activities I am involved esp in the Geospatial IG in RDA (that I chair) I am doing my best to promote open principles. It is key we reach out to the wider open communities and build synergies wherever possible. It is also important to learn from other communities and different view points. The Research Data Alliance is a key and rapidly expanding and influential community that we need to engage with proactively.<br>

So what is the open source angle of this Suchith? Are we promoting the idea of open source analysis to go with open data / open science?<br>
Or is open source just being assumed...<br>

Dear colleague,<br>
<br>
The Research Data Alliance Plenary Meetings constitute a major event where more than 4000 members from 100 countries come together to discuss, develop and promote data-sharing and data-driven research infrastructure through Working and Interest Groups. The 9th Plenary of the Research Data Alliance under the theme #DataInfrastructures for #OpenScience - aimed to explore how best to exploit the data revolution to improve science and society through data-driven discovery and innovation.<br>
<br>
The Interest Group on Agriculture Data had a pre-meeting (3 to 4 April 2017) brought together more than 110 top data scientists (from more than 35 countries and from 5 continents). The summary is now available at <a href="http://aims.fao.org/activity/blog/highlights-igad-outbreak-sessions-rda-p9" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://aims.fao.org/activity/<wbr>blog/highlights-igad-outbreak-<wbr>sessions-rda-p9</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Slides of the IGAD Pre-Meeting in Barcelona are now published in the Open knowledge in agricultural development (OKAD) channel of F1000research and can be accessed at<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
My thanks to colleagues in FAO and RDA who worked to make this happen and build opportunities for future joint research and publications for expanding AgriGIS.<br>
<br>
We welcome synergies and collaborations from all interested.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
