[OpenGeoscience] AGU Townhall / IODP

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the background information on  Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). I now understand that there is very little topic overlap with IODP, so it might not be the appropriate option. My suggestion is we as a community start looking and speaking with other communities who are planning their own TownHall  events in AGU or other key international scientific events but with more topic overlap with OSGeo to have OSGeo presented in their Town hall events. We can provide them OSGeo Live DVDs etc for distributing to their delegates at thier events. That way we can reach out to more communities but also scalable as we do not have pay costs for hosting the TownHall by our own. I think it is very important to have strong presence of OSGeo in EGU, AGU, AAG and other key scientific events, so we need to have presence in these TownHall events.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Suchith,

thanks for your suggestion. The Integrated Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is an international marine research collaboration dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth through drilling, coring, and monitoring the subseafloor. Members from this community provided advice for budgetary planning when the first OSGeo Townhall at the EGU GA was prepared back in 2014. In my experience, the annual IODP Townhall events are always packed with amazing information about scientific drilling projects, so there is little topical overlap and already too little time, as Townhalls last (only) 60 minutes. I propose we approach the IODP folks at next years EGU GA and discuss options for future cooperation.

best,
Peter

Hi Peter,



Thanks for this info. One suggestion is maybe  if you can reach out to IODP and request that they provide OSGeo with a free presentation slot  in their  Town Hall event for future years (we can think of having an MoU with them). We can provide them OSGeo Live USBs etc at their TownHall event which will be useful for their delegates and attendees . We can also promote the AGU TownHall event through our networks for greater participation.



Best wishes,



Suchith
