Hello, My name is Ben Wyss, I am working on an open source web based
mapping/professional network/analytical tool for the GEM foundation
(http://www.globalquakemodel.org). We are possibly going to develop our
application with the OpenGeo stack: OpenLayers, ExtJS, GeoExt,
GeoServer. Thus far we have had good success using this stack to produce
some application mock-ups.
Some of our challenges include identifying user needs, promote the flow
of open data while adhering to standards and preserving data quality,
identifying tools and strategies that will transform assessments into
mitigation activities (from a global to a local scale). The biggest
challenge seems to be developing an application/tool that will bring
together many institutions and agencies to promote communication and
collaboration on similar initiates. To do this, we are exploring both
the Spatial Data Infrastructure/GeoNetwork and the GeoNode concepts. I
would be interested to hear your perspective on these topics. I noticed
on your web site that you are using GeoNetwork, could you share with me
some of your experiences with GeoNeteork. How are you planning to
incorporate GeoNode, in addition to GeoNetwork?
Best regards,
Ben

Dear list,
following a meeting with Chris Holmes, we would like to introduce
ourselves.
ITHACA is a no profit association that works mainly for the UN World
Food Programme in the field of geomatics and emergency response. You
can find further information on www.ithacaweb.org
<http://www.ithacaweb.org>.
We already started to develop our web applications using the same
architecture as GeoNode. So we decided to join the GeoNode community
in order to contribute.
The first steps for us are to understand how GeoNode works and to
migrate our architecture.
Our aim is to develop an application devoted to emergency management
based on GeoNode.
We will be happy to collaborate with you all in developing this
amazing project.
Kind regards.
ITHACA team
