Oggetto: [Geo4All] Good news! We now have five past FOSS4G Conference Academic 
Proceedings (full proceedings and individual papers) available online

Dear OSGeo and GeoForAll colleagues,

I'm pleased to report that we now have full academic proceedings and individual 
papers from the last five FOSS4G conferences [1].
The website is: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/foss4g/

This system provides readership (download) statistics and distribution maps 
(see attached). For instance, as of today, across all volumes we already have a 
total of 3,409 full proceeding and individual paper downloads worldwide. 
Individual authors can see their individual download statistics by going to 
their individual paper entry (for example, see [2]). Scholarworks also feeds 
library database search engines.

Some thanks are in order:

1. To Barend Köbben, Venka Raghavan, and Sanghee Shin, for their assistance and 
encouragement on publishing their edited volumes;
2. To each conference program committee for their service;
3. To Andy Anderson, Franz-Joseph Behr, and Muhammad Yahya for their efforts 
formatting and publishing one or more volumes;
4. To Erin Jerome at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst's Library's 
Scholarly Communication office who 
provides us the Scholarworks platform and terrific technical support at no cost 
to OSGeo or GeoForAll; and last, but not least,
4. To Mohammed Zia who is the person behind the scenes who contributed time and 
expertise to really make this happen.

I apologize if I have forgotten someone!

We hope that we can continue to publish FOSS4G Academic proceeding pre-prints, 
both global and regional events, through this system, to maintain a longterm 
repository of FOSS4G scholarship. Proceeding editors of future conferences: 
Please contact us to coordinate.

Sincerely,

Charlie Schweik for the FOSS4G Proceedings editorial team:
(Mohammed Zia, Andy Anderson, and Franz-Josef Behr)

[Mark Iliffe]

Dear All,

Things are heating up in Dar es Salaam for FOSS4G!! We've had a record
number of submissions within the academic track and are looking for even
more presentations, workshops, posters, and maps than ever before!

As such, we would like to remind you that only *7 days remains* to submit -
on the 21st of March!!

Also, we're looking to cover the full gamut of the OSGeo community, from
the latest advances in software, to our community itself. We've also
partnered with various institutions to augment the 'traditional' FOSS4G
approach. Accordingly, we would also request submissions around:

   - Urbanization Issues  (co-organised by Understanding Risk)
   - Coastal, Marine and the Environment
   - Widening Access and Humanitarian Mapping (co-organised by Humanitarian
   OpenStreetMap Team)
   - Drones/Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

For more details on how to submit your paper/presentation please visit:
http://2018.foss4g.org/programme.html. Again, the deadline for sending
presentations is on March 21.

If you have any questions about the call for papers or the conference in
general, please get in touch with us! 2018.foss4g.org, Twitter or email us
directly foss4g...@gmail.com.

May the FOSS be with you!!
