Dirk and Marc,
I am very grateful for the interest and the encouragement.
Whatever combination and chemistry we conjure for OS to divine solutions, 
is a godsend and dynamic bridge to a more beautiful future.
We are trying to make this suite of OS geospatial goodies 
as attractive and powerful as possible.

Patrick,

Great news!
I think it should be an interesting exercise to investigate during a 
code sprint or OSGeo event how different OSGeo projects can grow 
closer to each other, without loosing the diversity between all the 
different initiatives we host.

Having the support of these 'big' organisations supporting open source 
software, and working together with small and medium enterprises and 
developers seems an interesting new way of co-creation we should try 
to explore.

Dear OSGeo, ICA, ISPRS Communities, and the GeoForAll mission,

Some very exciting news will soon be shared with YOU! The good news is that 
GeoForAll progress is being made on multiple fronts, in ways that serve the 
core principles of the brilliant world-beacons provided by OSGeo, ICA, ISPRS 
and OGRS. Here is a brief mention for what you will learn more of soon.

1. The European Space Agency (ESA) has standardized on NASA WebWorldWind. 
Expect significant advances to this open source geobrowser, along with 
facilitated access to the Copernicus programme Sentinel data, for research and 
the needs of a greater European government community. Thank you ESA and Pier 
Giorgio Marchetti!

2. Extraordinary progress is being made on what was originally called the 
Global Earthquake Forecast System and is now referred to as Earthquake Signal 
Precursors (ESP). This will prove invaluable to the world. The monitoring 
systems (hardware) and entire communication infrastructure (software), are all 
designed and built as open source. Thank you TrilliumLearning and Ron Fortunato!

3. The city of Trento will be hosting the 'climax' to the 2016 Europa 
Challenge. This will include an all-expense paid invitation (lodging and meals, 
excluding travel) to the top three teams for a final three days of intense 
collaboration and all-out competition for the very best ^OpenCitySmart^ 
solution! Thank you Trento and Milena Bigatto! 

4. Look for a special Europa Challenge presence at the OGRS symposium in 
Perugia.

5. And more pleasant surprises!  ;-)

Great news, thank you !
I took the chance to register a NASAWorldWind organization on the 
_experimental_ OSGeo git service, and added mirrors of all the codebases 
currently available on github under that name:

 https://git.osgeo.org/_gogs_/NASAWorldWind

I hope it'll help OSGeo users who don't want to register an account on github 
to contribute to the project.

PS: if you like the idea, just login once (with your OSGeo Userid) and
I'll be able to set you as an owner of the organization.
