Charlie,

Something to keep in mind. . .

A starter app, the new WorldWind Explorer ‘reference app’ that’s all yours!

Demo: http://explorer.worldwind.earth/

Code: https://github.com/emxsys/WorldWindExplorer

And here is a fun sandbox,

A shorter follow-up to my last email to this group.

1) Please go to:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cvKBnekV_zCg59WJ__tSd2ALUtC8o198seDsgI52KbE/edit?usp=sharing

Edit or add your name, affiliation and 1-3 lines on relevant work under one or more of the three areas: (1) “Sensing”, (2) Analytics and Visualization, and (3) Education. If you have ‘proof’ of this work in publications or other citations, please cite them and add to the reference section at the bottom. If you object to Google Docs, send me your information via email.

2) If your name isn't there -- my apologies! Please add yours and your information to any or all of the three categories.

3) If you have contacts to people in city government that might be interested in being connected to this effort, please let me know. We have two cities represented and need more!

Thanks all!

Charlie

Thanks Patrick -- I'm convinced not to contact them!

OpenCitySmart colleagues:

As I've said previously, we're working on a revised submission to the US National Science Foundation to establish us as a "Open Geographical Science Research (and education) Coordination Network for Urban Resilience." Working with several people on this list, we've decided to focus in three areas:

1) Research in "Open Geospatial-Temporal Data Collection or 'Sensing'" -- focusing on open source environmental sensors (e.g., arduino-based sensor devices) and Unmanned Aerial Systems;

2) Research in "Open Geospatial-Temporal Analytics and Visualization; and,

3) Open Geographical Science Education

In general, if we get this grant, it would provide us with funds to help support some members each year, over four years, to meet at conferences, like FOSS4G, to build collaborative work in these areas.

MY REQUEST TO YOU

We are trying to develop a short inventory on people who would like to be part of this RCN, and their areas of expertise (organized by the three areas: (1) Sensing, (2) Analytics/Visualization and (3) Education.

AS SOON ASA POSSIBLE, please look at this Google Document, look for your name, and add 2-3 lines on how what you do relates to one or more of these three areas (and include references to your work and the bottom -- references).

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cvKBnekV_zCg59WJ__tSd2ALUtC8o198seDsgI52KbE/edit?usp=sharing

I know some on this list don't like using Google Docs, but I don't want this on the wiki and publically accessible yet, which is why I am using it. If you don't want to use it -- send me your information via email.

If you DON'T want to be listed on this, let me know. If I am missing your name -- apologies! And add it wherever relevant. You can add your name and information to multiple sections (Sensing, Analytics, Education).

Thanks in advance!!!!

Charlie

So here they are again, with their usual ‘spam.’

Looks good but they are ‘unto themselves’ from what I can tell.

My several attempts to contact Michael Berkowitz have been met with dead silence.

Patrick —

Building resilience is not only about improving physical infrastructure – our buildings, roads, and public spaces. It’s also about making our communities more cohesive.

Cohesive communities are ones where neighbors check on neighbors. They are connected and self-reliant, pulling together in emergencies. They are also more resourceful and equitable in good times, when there isn't a hazard.

As the Central and Eastern United States was gripped by a significant heat wave, President Barack Obama used social media to encourage neighbors to pull together.

Last week, Andy Revkin of The New York Times wrote about the importance of community resilience, and how 100 Resilient Cities, and now President Obama, are promoting its practice.
