Folks, Would any of the geo-knowledgeable folks be interested in contributing to a panel discussion at the European OGP meeting in May.
They are currently looking for ideas / proposals for panels but if we are to make a proposal it has to be in the next day or two as applications close on Mar 24th. This means we'll have time to plan our approach and build a pool of information (golden examples, case studies etc) that we can use to emphasise our point of view. I was thinking of a proposal along the lines of "why are National mapping agencies so resistant to making their data fully open" or "Why is Govt. open geo data so rare" etc etc. Given that this is in Ireland, its a great chance to the Irish OSM community and others to step up and speak up on this important issue. This panel would likely consist of govt. representatives so hashing out topics like this directly with the people who can effect change is no small thing. If anyone is interested in appearing on this panel, or can think of a specific proposal we should suggest, please let me know. Thanks, Dave (DaCor) _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
