Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Hackathon: building fully open climatic monitoring system [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Bruce Bannerman]

Hi Massimiliano,

I will be very interested to see how this initiative develops. It overlaps with 
a couple of the areas that I'm working in.

One of the hats that I wear is as Co-chair of the Expert Team - Climate Data 
Management Systems (ET-CDMS).  ET-CDMS is sponsored by the World Meteorological 
Organisation's Commission for Climatology.

Within ET-CDMS, we are aiming to provide guidance on the functionality that is 
expected within modern Climate Data Management Systems.

We have released WMO #1131, Climate Data Management System Specifications [1]. 
This is the initial version of this document aimed at providing climate data 
managers, and IT Architects with an overview of where we need to head in order 
to get consistent climate data (and federated climate data services) to support 
future climate data analysis.  More work on WMO #1131 is planned and also 
underway, with an initial focus on software developers.

You may find WMO #1131 of use to support your Hackathon.

On another note, there is some preliminary planning work underway aimed at 
establishing an open source CDMS called Open-CDMS that is intended to provide 
the functionality described by WMO #1131. We're not ready to publicise this, at 
this stage. What I can say is that we're aiming to re-use quality open source 
projects where possible. If anyone is interested in helping us with the 
preliminary planning, please contact me off-line.

Bruce

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Hackathon: building fully open climatic monitoring 
system

Dear All,
I would like to announce that on the 6th and 7th December 2016 in Italy, in San 
Michele all'Adige at Fondazione Edmund Mach (Trento) [1] there will be the 1st 
hackathon of the OSGeo's Open Monitoring System WG [2].

The hackathon named " building fully open climatic monitoring system" [3] will 
bring together developers to work on Open Hardware and Open Software so that we 
could promote and advance in the topic of Open Monitoring Systems.
Interested people may sign up on the wiki page [3] where a draft of the program 
which includes presentations and practical experiments is presented.

For more information on the topic please take a look at [4]

The participation is free, while materials should be purchased by participants 
in advance (approx 150 USD).

The organisers [4] will try to collect sponsors and OSGeo support to reduce the 
cost of participants.

Sign-in, seats are limited !

Best Regards from the organisers :-)

[OSGeo-Discuss] Please share Open Principles in Education ideas and philosophy at all Geo events (Geography Awareness Week, OSM Geo week , GIS day etc )

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleague,


May i request all who are taking part in various Geo events (Geography 
Awareness Week, OSM Geo Week, GIS day etc ) to also make use of the opportunity 
to promote Open Principles in GeoEducation by sharing information on GeoForAll 
and welcoming those interested to be part of this. Please give away OSGeo Live 
DVDs  and share GeoForAll ideas  at these events.


Open principles in geoeducation 
(open educational resources, free and open software, open data, open standards 
etc) are key for  true empowerment of staff and students globally and making 
geospatial education and opportunities accessible to all [1] . We look forward 
to working and building collaborations with all interested in this education 
mission. Access to quality education and opportunities is key for getting rid 
of extreme poverty and enabling broadly shared prosperity for all.

Our ideas are summarized at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmGoC6iFds4


Millions of globally connected minds working together on the common mission of 
enabling Open Education opportunities for everyone will be key for making these 
developments possible. An idea whose time has come is the most powerful force 
in the universe, and the time for "Access to quality education opportunities 
for everyone" has arrived.

Education + Empowerment = GeoForAll

Happy GIS Day greetings in advance to all...

Best wishes,

Suchith
