Hello OSM community, Please find a call from Suchith Anand (OSGeo/FOSS4G/Geo4All, University of Nottingham UK).
Dr Anand would like to study and discuss the possibilities of OpenStreetMap and announce that "the Geospatial IG [1] of the Research Data Alliance will be meeting in Barcelona on 5th April 2017 to keep building ideas for the global research agenda for Geospatial Data Science." https://www.rd-alliance.org/ig-geospatial-rda-9th-plenary-meeting Let me quote him again (with minor corrections mostly for formatting): > [Dr Suchith Anand] would also like to make use of the Geospatial IG meeting > opportunity at RDA9 in Barcelona to further discuss ideas on the rise of > OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a World Mapping Agency (WMA) build by the efforts of > thousands of volunteers. > It is also interesting to see the community links of the OpenStreetMap and > the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) expanding rapidly both locally > and globally. > OSM is now reaching the level of a Global Mapping Agency build by the efforts > of thousands of volunteers and OSGeo is the world's largest geospatial > ecosystem. > What a great combination of synergies. Both initiatives are just over a > decade old and have fundamentally changed the whole geolandscape. > > [Dr Suchith Anand] and colleagues are working on a paper on OSM and OSGeo and > want to use this meeting to discuss more ideas with the community. > > Please share with all interested and welcome all interested. It is key that > we use this great synergies between OSGeo and OSM for expanding ideas for the > future. [They are working to setup tele meeting facility for the RDA9 meeting in Barcelona and details will shared ASAP.] Please do get in touch if you want to get involved.
