As a follow up to Maria’s call, as you probably know, we have a MoU https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS> with ISPRS and these kind of activities are good examples of opportunities that the MoU covers. I have set up a wiki page where you can sign up if you are interested in helping out to organize an OSGeo Pavilion and a forum (or several fora) on all things Open-Geo at the ISPRS congress in Nice in 2020. https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGEO_at_ISPRS2020 <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGEO_at_ISPRS2020>
Please sign up on the wiki by June 1 (next Friday) so that we can see how much interest there is and we will prepare the answer to ISPRS congress organizers based on the interest from the community. Here is the congress website again: http://www.isprs2020-nice.com/ <http://www.isprs2020-nice.com/> Thank you all for supporting this excellent opportunity, Helena > On May 24, 2018, at 4:08 PM, Maria Antonia Brovelli > <maria.brove...@polimi.it> wrote: > > Dear All > probably many of you know ISPRS (http://www.isprs.org/), which is the > International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, a Society with a > long history and which is our partner for instance in the GeoForAll > initiative and in the Academic Track of FOSS4G 2018. > ISPRS has (among the others) also a Technical Commission on Spatial > Information Science, whose topics are very close to ours.
