Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Our huge thanks to Jeff McKenna

2016-02-03 Thread Dirk Frigne 
Jeff,

Thank you for all the work you did in OSGeo, as the president and board
member of the organisation.
You was one of the early adopters, ans you became the leading face of
the organisation. You inspired a lot of us, including myself.

I hope you can enjoy your new role in the community.
A community like OSGeo needs people with passion, with a heart of gold,
to help others, like you have.

All the best,
Dirk

[OSGeo-Discuss] Invitation to NASA CitySmart Challenge - Solutions For Sustainable Cities

2016-02-03 Thread Suchith Anand 

On behalf of "Geo for All" http://www.geoforall.org  , we would like to welcome 
strong global participation for the fourth edition of the NASA Europa 
challenge. The aim of this challenge is to inspire ideas for building great 
applications that serves the INSPIRE Directive and uses NASA’s open source 
virtual globe technology World Wind.

This NASA challenge attracts the best minds to develop their ideas covering a 
broad range of domains from transportation to air quality to linked data. The 
previous competition winners work is available at

http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2013
http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2014
http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2015

We thank Professor Maria Brovelli (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) and Patrick 
Hogan (NASA) for their efforts for this initiative which adds great momentum to 
our efforts to promote openness in education and research worldwide. The Europa 
Challenge has always had Europe's INSPIRE Directive to guide project 
development. This year we continue to have INSPIRE guide us and more 
specifically, we are looking for solutions specific to urban management. The 
CitySmart Europa Challenge is challenging the world's *best and brightest* to 
deliver sustainable solutions serving city needs.

Almost every city needs the same data management tools as every other city. How 
can we help cities work together to be more sustainable, more livable and more 
resilient? If cities were able to share their solutions with each other, this 
would multiply their investment by the number of cities participating. Each 
city could develop different functionalities and then 'share' these with each 
other, massively increasing our planet's collective productivity.

Simply build a great application that serves some aspect of the OpenCitySmart 
[1] design and uses NASA's open source virtual globe technology, WebWorldWind. 
Whether you win or not, you will advance a platform that allows every city to 
win! This challenge is open to all on our home planet. See the 2015 Projects, 
2014 Projects and 2013 Projects. China had top teams these past two years, 
India had an excellent team last year and Italy every year! A USA High School 
team from Alaska won First Place in 2015!  So students and SMEs are welcome to 
join the competition this year.

This year's Europa Challenge is an excellent opportunity for the global 
community to begin working in collaboration and prepare for the increasing 
climate change scenarios in cities context.   Students are our future and 
looking at previous year's contributions from Global Earthquake forecasts 
systems ( developed by some high school students from Alaska who went on to win 
the first prize in 2015!) 
http://www.edlinesites.net/pages/America_Bridge_Project/Europa_Challenge  to 
Urban Traffic Visual Analytics Simulator , it just shows the amazing 
contributions of these students and SMEs made for the global good and for the 
benefit of all.

Details at http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/

Those interested in being part of this global enterprise, please subscribe here 
http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opencitysmart . Your 
participation is very welcome.

We look forward to your strong participation for the NASA CitySmart Challenge 
2016 and joining our mission to make geospatial education and opportunities 
available for all.

Best wishes,

Suchith Anand
