How we teach tools for open geospatial science.

Vaclav Petras, Helena Mitasova, Anna Petrasova
North Carolina State University

Abstract:
Open science is much needed method to achieve more transparent and efficient 
research and its applications. The course we teach at North Carolina State 
University covers this emerging field of open science and deals with 
reproducibility and replicability challenges of geospatial research. The 
students gain a hands-on experience with tools used by scientists to conduct 
geospatial research which can be validated and applied by the wider geospatial 
community. Several geospatial open source tools are discussed in connection 
with general-purpose and text authoring tools such as interactive documents and 
revision control tools. Although the focus of the course is open science, many 
of the tools used in the course are used in industry, so that students pursuing 
various carriers can benefit from the course. The course further covers how 
open source communities and software development process work and how to apply 
this to research workflows in a lab group.

Hi all,

A reminder that the deadline for submitting is **tonight**.

We already have a number of great proposals with presenters (often
from core contributors) on projects such as GRASS, GDAL, geopandas,
open streetmap, mapnik, boost.geometry and mysql. You will definitely
be in good company !

Kind Regards,

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeoLive translation on Transifex is now fully active

[Nicolas Roelandt]

Hi dear OSGeo members,

We are pleased to announce that the testing OSGeoLive translation on
Transifex is over and that it is now fully active.

We would like to thanks to all the translators who helped us testing it.

Now we can translate OSGeoLive safely. So we are calling for translators to
help us translating, but not only ! Please join us there [1].

We also need reviewers and coordinators  for most languages, please contact
Nicolas at first if you want to volunteer for those positions.
A lot of languages are enough advanced (French, Hungarian, Spanish,
Italian) to start reviewing already.

Once again thanks to all the people helping translate the OSGeoLive
project.

Best regards,

Vicky Vergara and Nicolas Roelandt

for the OSGeo-Live translation team
