Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Ica-osgeo-labs] From Big Data to Open Data: Mobilizing the Data Revolution

It might be worth noting that ESA and NASA are very successfully collaborating 
on WebWorldWind development.

This 4D geobrowser platform is making huge strides in ^helping^ our world have 
'big access' to 'big data.'

https://github.com/NASAWorldWind/WebWorldWind

https://webworldwind.org/

An example of how easy it is for your data to be accessed. . .
You could be delivering your data within minutes via a WMS server!

http://worldwindserver.net/webworldwind/apps/Explorer.html


How easy is it to add your own server?
Copy this URL into "Add new server":

http://apps.ecmwf.int/wms/?token=MetOceanIE

You'll just need CORS running on the server,
http://webworldwind.org/developers-guide/common-problems/

A single configuration line change in your favorite server can do this (we've 
used Apache and Tomcat)

a trac ticket bu no reply yet,

Is there any way I can help the SAC with this, or just do it myself?

There is information about how to create a mailinglist on the wiki, can I

2016-02-12 Thread Jorge Sanz 
Hi just an update:

- Markus and me have been managing the lists recently, we do our best
to attend tickets and as with everything for some we are quick and
fast and for others and for many reasons we're a bit slower than we
should, sorry for that

- For some reason I can't comment on that ticket (I tried twice this
morning) so I've posted to SAC list

Anyway in the meanwhile, if you agree Paolo we can use the SAC list to
coordinate the migration to minimize the downtime on your list.

Best regards
Jorge

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] ​​OSGeo Seal Design Contest

2016-02-12 Thread Cameron Shorter 

I've added a first submission to the OSGeo Seal contest.
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Seal_contest#Submission_1

I propose that the existing OSGeo Compass (or one of the existing 
variants) be considered as the OSGeo Seal. My reasoning is that our 
existing logo is good, works well as a seal, and is consistent with 
OSGeo's branding with helps retain a recognizable image leading to 
strong branding. As I've done no work creating this image, I'm taking 
myself out of the running for accepting any awards.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Invitation to join our Geo4All AgriGIS research thematic and help contribute to Global Food Security

2016-02-12 Thread Suchith Anand 
Dear colleague,

I am emailing you to invite you to join the Geo4All AgriGIS thematic that is 
lead by Dr Didier Leibovici (University of Nottingham, UK ) and Dr. Nobusuke 
Iwasaki ( National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences (NIAES), Japan).

Mobile broadband networks, location-based technologies, sensor-web technologies 
and cloud computing offer the potentials to develop location independent, 
sustainable living and to provide flexible and low cost information and 
services networks, linking individuals and communities in a scale that 
transcends national boundaries. Rapid developments in positioning, broad-band 
mobile communications, sensor platforms, sensor-web enablement, spatial search 
and pervasive computing fundamentally change the access to and use of 
location-based data for agriculture. However, the necessary multi-disciplinary 
approach needed to transform raw data and information into useful intelligence 
and knowledge for scientists is still constrained by disciplinary and 
organisational silo's and legacy concepts. Geospatial interoperability and open 
source standards-based GIS and open data will help deliver holistic solutions 
in geospatial technologies in AgriGIS by enabling the ready integration of 
separate location relevant technologies and lowering costs. The expanding range 
of open source GIS tools and open data will greatly enhance the use of 
geospatial technologies in agriculture and facilitates the sharing of 
information across various stakeholders and collaborative work.

To give you some background information, myself and Didier Leibovici in 2012 
established AgriGIS theme [1] at the University of Nottingham through a BBSRC 
funded GRASP research [2] that we were successful in collaboration with Plant 
Science colleagues . The aim of establishing AgriGIS research theme at 
Nottingham was to expand cross-disciplinary research into the application of 
geospatial science to agriculture, in genetic diversity including identifying 
new sources of trait variation, planning breeding objectives with local 
knowledge input, and evaluating the effect of climate change scenarios . We 
also build wider research collaborations with Crops for the Future , Malaysia 
[3] and the Open Source Geospatial Lab, UNMC, Malaysia (Tuong Thuy Vu) [4] 
through various ongoing research (incl. fully funded PhD studentships) and 
AgriGIS workshops [5].

You can get some overview of GRASP from AgriGIS workshop that we held at 
Nottingham https://rd-alliance.org/sites/default/files/AgriGIS2014.pdf

I am also contributing to RDA's Agriculture Data IG and i have presented our 
work at the RDA Agriculture IG session in Dublin in 2014 looking into 
Geospatial interoperability in Agriculture research. I also know the chair of 
the Agriculture IG , Devika Madalli (Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore) 
and other colleagues in the IG.

https://rd-alliance.org/group/agriculture-data-interest-group-igad/post/geospatial-interoperability-agriculture-research
https://rd-alliance.org/sites/default/files/GRASP_GFS_for_RDA_Dublin2014.pdf

Aiming to expand our AgriGIS research globally, we have been building global 
research collaborations through our involvement in global research initiatives 
like the Research Data Alliance (RDA) ,for example leading the Geospatial IG 
[4]. Research Data Alliance builds the social and technical bridges that enable 
open sharing of data. The RDA vision is researchers and innovators openly 
sharing data across technologies, disciplines, and countries to address the 
grand challenges of society.The Research Data Alliance is supported by the 
European Commission, the National Science Foundation and other U.S. agencies, 
and the Australian Government.Details at https://rd-alliance.org/

I am also in discussions for expanding collaborations with Global Open Data for 
Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative [7] . The Global Open Data for 
Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative seeks to support global efforts to 
make agricultural and nutritionally relevant data available, accessible, and 
usable for unrestricted use worldwide. The initiative focuses on building 
high-level policy and public and private institutional support for open data. 
The initiative encourages collaboration and cooperation among existing 
agriculture and open data activities, without duplication, and brings together 
all stakeholders to solve long-standing global problem. GODAN has high level 
governmental support (G7, United Nations, FAO) and strong collaborations in 
place with governments worldwide so it is important that we have synergies with 
GODAN and work together AND support the proactive sharing of open data to make 
information about agriculture and nutrition available, accessible and usable to 
deal with the urgent challenge of ensuring world food security.

Capacity Building and Training in the latest geospatial technologies is key for 
staff and students in Agriculture to take
