[OSGeo-UK] Raster meeting

[Steven Feldman]

Sounds like a great idea to me. I think the OSGeo community tend to be very vector focussed and an event like this could open (excuse pun) peoples’ eyes to what is possible with OpenRasterData and Open Source tools. 

I would attend and vote for OSGeo to sponsor in some way

I want the focus to be on the use of open source software to process open data, specifically open satellite image datasets such as those from the Sentinel and Landsat missions, and other open raster datasets such as LiDAR derived elevation etc.

For instance, there are a load of Python libraries etc that have been developed for raster processing and it would be great to have some of those discussed in detail.
