===2) Continue to expand the &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is &amp;quot;Geo For All&amp;quot;.Central to &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone.  Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals  http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in joining or supporting  the &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; initiative? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

# Africa -  Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key requirements for  joining the &amp;quot;ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;

*'''Bringing GEOSS services into practice''' &lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Bringing GEOSS services into practice&amp;quot; workshop aims at teaching how to configure, use and deploy a set of open source software (PostGIS, GeoServer, GeoNetwork, PyWPS, QGIS) to set up a spatial data infrastructure (SDI). Trainees will learn how to publish and share data and metadata using OGC and ISO standards and how to register services into the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).&lt;br /&gt;

*'''GeoMOOSE'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GeoMOOSE is a Web Client JavaScript Framework for displaying distributed cartographic data. GeoMOOSE has a number of strengths including modularity, configurability, and delivers a number of core functionalities in its packages. GeoMOOSE is also very light weight for servers making it easy to handle a large number of users, with a large number of layers, and a large number of services without stressing a server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GeoMOOSE core is written using JavaScript and HTML. It is entirely possible to run GeoMOOSE with nothing more than a basic web server (Nginx, Apache, IIS). But besides the basic client core, GeoMOOSE also comes prepackaged with a number of built in services written in PHP. These services add the ability to perform drill-down identify operations, selection operations, and search data sets. If you have existing scripts that perform similar functions, GeoMOOSE can be tuned to work with those services, no matter which language they were written in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Key Research Questions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How can we transform existing cities or create new cities that are sustainable, productive and resilient?&lt;br /&gt;
** Easy, we work together as one species to solve common problems.&lt;br /&gt;
* How can we empower citizens, community groups, planners, policy and decision-makers to work cohesively in solving the problems our cities face such that they successfully engage in a sustainable urban future?&lt;br /&gt;
** By making this '''''Road Map''''' a reality, '''''all''''' cities will '''''share''''' something they need yet each will also own. &lt;br /&gt;
** This also gives them a way to share back the solutions they discover ''''''for the benefit of all.''''''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Urban Nirvana ''''''The Road Map'''''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We owe this 'first cut' for our Urban Nirvana CitySmart app to OGC's &amp;quot;[http://gisuser.com/2015/02/ogc-smart-cities-spatial-information-framework-white-paper-announced/ Smart Cities Spatial Information Framework]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We also heap a world of praise upon Brandt Melick, Information Technology Department Director, Springfield Oregon USA for putting this [http://www.NSDInow.org/SDI_Now_02/Technical_Support.html CitySmart] app idea into action! We need to help more cities step forward like this, lead by example! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* ''' 'CitySmart' App Themes/Data-type''' (feel free to expand):&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Data sharing''' – Municipalities need to be able to share information with site developers, site constraint specialists (environmental scientists, planners and engineers), utility service providers and regulators.  The following information is requested on a regular basis for a wide variety of location-based solutions, namely (ESRI products, Autodesk products and MSFT Office products such as Excel, Access, etc.).  These data sets most often include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/2/list/datamodelsINSPIRE Data Models]&lt;br /&gt;
# Imagery (3-inch pixel is preferred, 1 foot pixel is less preferred, 1 meter is getting much less preferred)&lt;br /&gt;
# Cadastral Information (parcel polygons, Rights of Way (ROW), property ownership, assessment and taxation information and property class)&lt;br /&gt;
# Address Information (house number, street name, City, zip, site location (coordinates) and zoning information)&lt;br /&gt;
# Jurisdictional boundaries (incorporated areas, city limits, county boundaries, etc.), urban growth boundaries, public safety response areas&lt;br /&gt;
# Elevation Information: DEM’s (raster), DTM’s (vector), contours and spot elevation points, as well as mass points and break lines &lt;br /&gt;
# Waterways and protected areas: wetlands, fish-bearing streams, endangered species habitat, well-head protection zones, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Facilities a.k.a. utilities: waste-water, storm-water, transportation systems, power, drinking water, etc. who owns the facility, who maintains the facility, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Structures/facilities: bridges, building foot prints, complexes, monuments, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Documents: reference material, procedures, regulations, metadata, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Lidar, everyone wants it, yet few understand how to put Lidar to good use. The City of Springfield is spoiled with 8 points per meter, and they know what to do with it. Though they still want for better tools to work with it (i.e., our CitySmart app). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Technical Challenges''' - there are many, here are just a few: raw data made useable, data dating, accurate georeference conversion, unit conversion (metric to standard), data storage, data security, firewalls, standardized metadata, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Yet to be discussed:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Legal challenges''' e.g. investigating and suggesting the required framework to preserve privacy, ensure equity (equality in access to data and computing capacities), protect IPR and copyrights.&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Economic challenges''' e.g. creating sustainable Research Infrastructures (RI) for the public and private sector, investigate possibilities for Public Private Partnerships (PPP).&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Social challenges''' e.g. fostering public engagement in Big Data (theory, i.e. participation in related debates, and practice, i.e. data gathering and analysis).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Social dimension sub-roadmap'''&lt;br /&gt;
Any serious roadmap on urban science should certainly consider the social dimension. In this respect, we would need a subsequent actions such as:&lt;br /&gt;
# Identify in our Who's Who here what categories of participants we are and what are their incentives or barriers for participation. How can we organize to meet the needs of the participants involved? For instance, for academics, it might be how to utilize or create peer-review publication venues for contributed work. For practitioners, can we define their key or most pressing needs? For developers, are they in situations where their employer will see contributions to a global effort something they should be doing?&lt;br /&gt;
# Identify the intended direct beneficiaries (aka users, customers, consumers) - instead of focusing on producers of data, infrastructures, software and services. Possible beneficiaries might be: urban planners, scientists/academia, city councils and majors, citizen, young people (pupil and students), etc. While these intended audiences might partially overlap, all might have different needs and need a different approach for participation.&lt;br /&gt;
# Identify and get into contact with some representatives of the intended target group, e.g. with champions in digital social innovation and open minded individuals, or via associations that are directly connected to these communities, such as citizen associations.&lt;br /&gt;
# Engaging with these people in order to identify '''their real needs for city analytics''', in order to first of all get their requirements, but also to co-develop products, get direct feedback (e.g. be including them in review panels for the NASA WW Challenge), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Expand from few collaborations into a wider network in which solutions are replicated or adopted for one city after the other - each time customized to the individual needs.&lt;br /&gt;
* A couple important topics here that might be useful in future grant proposals. &lt;br /&gt;
** First, the idea that we as a group are undertaking &amp;quot;transdisciplinary research around urban science&amp;quot; (Dedeurwaerdere, 2014). According to Dedeurwaerdere (2014: 138): 'Transdisciplinary implies that the precise nature of the problem... needs to be defined cooperatively by actors from science and the life-world.'&lt;br /&gt;
** Second, perhaps we should focus on topics related to '''urban sustainability and resilience''' and the geospatial analytical processes and tools needed to support decision-makers in that capacity? Dedeurwaerdere (2014: 139) defines sustainability as the 'maintenance of capital,&amp;quot; and is often used in the context of &amp;quot;environmental sustainability&amp;quot; -- the maintenance or non-declining of natural capital. So one question for our group might be what areas of &amp;quot;urban sustainability&amp;quot; might we want to focus our efforts on?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Key City Analytic Needs or Needs by our Community above'''. (Add topic entries or your name under existing entries) &lt;br /&gt;
** Crime mapping analytics&lt;br /&gt;
*** Tom Mueller&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Use-Case: Urban Planning and Site Review''' – Municipalities need to evaluate the impact of proposed development activity, on existing development and on the natural environment. This typically includes estimating how much cut and fill is proposed, how proposed land alteration impacts surface drainage, how proposed structures will connect to city services (waste-water, storm-water, drinking-water, power, etc.), how steep the roads will be (slope for fire trucks), and proximity to wetlands and other protected waters of the state. These data most often include:&lt;br /&gt;
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery Imagery]&lt;br /&gt;
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadastre Cadastral]&lt;br /&gt;
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_elevation_model Elevation]&lt;br /&gt;
** Facilities (structures and utilities)&lt;br /&gt;
** Waterways and Flood Maps&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Urban Nirvana ''''''The App'''''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Task'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Develop a '''''CitySmart Urban Nirvana App''''' with your idea for the ''Requirements doc,'' essentially the 'specs' for what this ''Urban Science - City Analytics'', CitySmart app looks like, and will likely be based on information in the 'framework' documents mentioned above in the Road Map section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The City of [http://www.nsdinow.org/SDI_Now_02/Technical_Support.html Springfield Oregon] has already shown us the way forward.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some basic requirements:&lt;br /&gt;
* 3D Virtual Globe interchangeable or simultaneous with 2D Map along with Projection Choices &lt;br /&gt;
* Imagery &amp;amp; Elevation Import &lt;br /&gt;
* Extensible Architecture (Modular Componentry)&lt;br /&gt;
* Data Retrieval via REST, WMS, WCS, WFS, GML, User-Deﬁned &lt;br /&gt;
* OSM Placenames, Boundaries and Roads&lt;br /&gt;
* Picking and Decluttering &lt;br /&gt;
* Shapeﬁle and KML Import &lt;br /&gt;
* Measurement Tools&lt;br /&gt;
* Flooding and Line-of-Sight Calculation&lt;br /&gt;
* Subsurface Visualization &lt;br /&gt;
* Shapes: Placemarks, Path, Polygon, Extruded Polygon, Custom, HTML5-able Balloons&lt;br /&gt;
* Volumes (&amp;amp; Shapes), follow terrain or maintain constant elevation above terrain while moving&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This CitySmart app needs to allow for some early successes so we can get buy-in from 'real' municipalities to work with us and thereby keep value-added precisely on target. After the Road Map, then what? Then we challenge Earth's FOSSy development community to provide their solution in response to the Road Map. 'Twoud be fine if we could gather a nice award package for that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After we (the OSGEO community) evaluate these ‘solutions,’ some will be asked to mashup until in the end we have one OSGEO/FOSS4G/GeoForAll CitySmart app. This app will have an open API for the menu system, for drag-n-drop of functionalities. This will allow each city to tailor the CitySmart app for their specific use. This will also allow the world community to continually optimize old functionalities and design new ones, whether proprietary or FOSSy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Who Will Do This?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whoever wants to! We ask academic and other organizations to first help us with the Road Map (the ''Requirements doc''), such as those listed as Potential Partners, http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics#Potential_Partners'''.'''  Or just build it!  All are welcome! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Why Do This?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because we can! And more importantly, because there is a world full of urban management need, much of which is identical no matter what urban location we are in. For a little encouragement, how about a NASA crystal bull for the best Road Map, just like for the Europa Challenge, http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/''',''' and of course NASA T-shirts. We need YOU (whoever you are) to design the requirements doc and build the for the CitySmart app.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are brave and good, just build it and be a lighthouse guiding our future. If you do this, and no one else does, you get the crystal bull. If others do theirs along with you, then we vote and that winner gets to mash-up the best from what's in the ‘other’ CitySmart apps. We will ask the Region and Theme Chairs to do the voting, http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll'''.''' &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Open Letter of the Need for Open Standards in LiDAR=&lt;br /&gt;
April 2015.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, the undersigned, are concerned that the current interoperability between LiDAR applications, through use of the open &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; format, is being threatened by ESRI's introduction and promotion of an alternative &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; '''''proprietary format.''''' This is of grave concern given that fragmentation of the LAS format will reduce interoperability between applications and organisations, and introduce vendor lock-in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We request that:&lt;br /&gt;
# The OGC initiate the formalisation of an open standard for storing LiDAR data, and that OGC sponsors help prioritise the development of this open LiDAR standard.&lt;br /&gt;
# ESRI support the OGC in their [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/vision mission] &amp;quot;to advance the development and use of international standards and supporting services that promote geospatial interoperability.&amp;quot; In particular, ESRI joins with the OGC in consolidating an Open Standard for use of LiDAR data. This might include proposing ESRI's &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; as an Open Standard to remove any technical or legal hurdles in use of &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; as an Open Standard. A simple test to determine if &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; can be used as an Open Standard would be if &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; can legally be implemented by Open Source software such as libLAS or LASzip.&lt;br /&gt;
# Users and sponsors of LiDAR data, publicly state their preference for the use of an open LiDAR format over proprietary when selecting software and services.&lt;br /&gt;
# The custodians of the open LAS format [http://www.asprs.org/LD-Division/LAS-Working-Group.html LAS Working Group (LWG)], who are part of [http://www.asprs.org/ American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS)], request the term &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; not to be included in the name of a proprietary format, as it makes such a proprietary format appear to be an approved derivative of LAS.&lt;br /&gt;

=Background=&lt;br /&gt;
==About LiDAR==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar LiDAR] (Light Detection And Ranging) is a form of high precision range measurement, much like a radar system, that uses laser light instead of electromagnetic waves. The standard LiDAR product is a 3D point cloud that can be conceptualized as a series of point measurements representing distance between the sensor to a returned emission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For over a decade (since 2003), there has been a common format for storing LiDAR data, the [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html “LAS” format], and open source libraries have been developed to read, write and process these LAS files: [http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/liblas_overview.html libLAS] and [http://github.com/LASlib/LASlib LASlib]. These libraries have been incorporated within many LiDAR applications, allowing read/write access to a common exchange format, and resulting in full interoperability between the applications. There is also an open source compression algorithm for the LAS format called [http://laszip.org LASzip] that many LiDAR data portals use to compress LAS into smaller LAZ files for faster download. Many LiDAR software packages have added [http://laszip.org/#software-with-native-laz-support native support] for these compressed LAZ files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==LAS Limitations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quoting [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars/ Paul Ramsey]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: LAS format is not without its drawbacks:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* While it is a binary format and does not waste any space unnecessarily, neither does it apply any compression to the data it stores. That’s not good for archival use.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Also, LAS stores points in scan order, so accessing any particular chunk of points involves reading the whole file. That’s not good for random access.&lt;br /&gt;
: Clearly there is a little more work to be done. Can LAS be improved? In fact, it already has been:&lt;br /&gt;
:* An open source compression library, LASzip can apply 20''':'''1 lossless compression to LAS files, making them great for archival purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Other LAS users have experimented with re-ordering points in a LAS or LASzip file to allow random access to internal chunks of the LIDAR point cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
: Basically, making LAS smaller and faster is not rocket science, and if the work were incorporated into libLAS then the whole LIDAR community could leverage it together, and the user community would only have one file type to interchange.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; A ''' ''Proprietary'' ESRI Format'''==&lt;br /&gt;
ESRI has announced the release of an [http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/10214 &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;] format which is claimed to provide faster access and smaller file sizes (similar to the open [http://laszip.org LASzip] format). This announcement created a outburst of vocal protest in the LiDAR community [[http://rapidlasso.com/2013/12/30/new-compressed-las-format-by-esri/ 1] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars/ 2] [http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2014/01/15/las-laz-lazzip-zlas-and-you/ 3] [http://www.northrivergeographic.com/archives/lidar-software 4] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars-2/ 5] [http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/02/lidar-format-wars-3/ 6]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format is neither published, nor available under any open license, which provides both technical as well as legal barriers for other applications reading and/or writing to this proprietary format. This creates a vendor lock-in scenario which is contrary to the principles of the Open Geospatial Consortium, the OSGeo Foundation, and many government IT procurement policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One year after releasing the &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format, ESRI released a free Windows DLL that is claimed to convert between LAS and &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;. Note there is a distinct difference between &amp;quot;free&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;open&amp;quot;. Unless the Windows DLL is released under an &amp;quot;open&amp;quot; license, libLAS and related products will be legally prevented from incorporating ESRI's reader/writer code into their codebase, or from fixing any underlying bugs or performance limitations which may exist in ESRI's product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OGC's Efforts For An ''' ''Open'' LiDAR Standard'''==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)] has indicated their interest in developing a standard LiDAR format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carl Reed (formerly on OGC staff) provided the following information on OGC's previous efforts to work toward enabling Open Standards in LiDAR:&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Over the last 8 or so years, the OGC approached ASPRS at least twice regarding LAS and worked with ASPRS to bring LAS into the OGC for consideration as both a Best Practice and an OGC standard. OGC member Rick Pearsall worked diligently on this. Rick worked for NGA, was active in the OGC, and was also the Standards Committee chair at ASPRS. Rick and Carl tried and failed. These attempts go back to [http://www.asprs.org/a/society/divisions/ppd/ppd_meetings/2007springppdreport.pdf at least 2007]. More recently, Carl Reed had an email dialogue with Lewis Graham to bring LAS into OGC as an OGC Best Practice. Carl thought progress was being made, but then for some reason all communication stopped.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/organization/staff/ssimmons Scott Simmons] (Executive Director, Standards Program) has explained the OGC's continuing interest in pursuing point cloud encoding standards, including a member-initiated mechanism to extend LAS data with OGC-standard XML content.&lt;br /&gt;
: The OGC invites interested members who wish to work on this effort to please contact Scott Simmons (Executive Director, Standards Program  E-mail : ssimmons@opengeospatial.org) to register their interest and discuss details.  OGC will also be holding an ad hoc session at the OGC's next [http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/1506tc Technical Committee meeting in Boulder, CO, USA in early June] to bring together all interested parties from all sectors (government, industry, academia) for this and plan next steps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History: LAS and ESRI's &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Martin Isenburg, one of the leading experts in LIDAR formats, and creator of [http://rapidlasso.com/LASzip LASzip], [http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools LAStools] and [http://rapidlasso.com/PulseWaves PulseWaves], explains the history of LAS and &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''Summary:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* The LAS format has been used successfully for over a decade.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Within last couple of years, ESRI has added native LAS support into ESRI products.&lt;br /&gt;
:* ESRI discussed embracing the open [http://laszip.org LAZ] format and simultaneously developed a proprietary &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format.&lt;br /&gt;
:* The open geospatial community offered, on numerous occasions, to work with ESRI to avoid format fragmentation.&lt;br /&gt;
:* ESRI's proprietary &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; format is very similar in design and performance to the open [http://laszip.org LASzip] format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''1998: Original LAS format definition'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The original development of the LAS format started in 1998 according to [http://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lasroom/zKqchDj1JL4/discussion Lewis Graham]. The effort was at first led by pioneers of the LiDAR industry until the format was donated to the [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html ASPRS]. Since then ASPRS's [http://www.asprs.org/LD-Division/LAS-Working-Group.html LAS Working Group (LWG)] has been maintaining the LAS format, guiding it from the initial LAS 1.0 version until today's LAS 1.4 version. This effort successfully created an open data exchange format for discrete LiDAR points that is currently supported by practically every LiDAR-related software program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''2011: ESRI joins LAS Working Group'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ESRI did not join the LWG of the ASPRS until rather late, the 24th of August in 2011. At that time ESRI was not a significant &amp;quot;player&amp;quot; in the LiDAR market given they did not have much support for LiDAR in any of their products. That was to change soon as they were planning to add LAS as a native data type in ArcGIS 10.1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Shortly before that, in June 2011, Martin Isenburg received a personal message from the ESRI development team: &amp;quot;I have a question about LAS compression. I’m evaluating some potential enhancements and support for [LAS and] LAZ is one of them. Compression time and amount is impressive.&amp;quot; When inquiring two months later about the status of [http://laszip.org LAZ] integration Martin was told: &amp;quot;We’re in beta and working to finish the current release. I very much doubt LAZ will make it in because it’s too big a change at this time. So, we’ll be considering, for the following release, [for] what we want to do regarding compression and spatial indexing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''June 2012: ArcGIS 10.1 includes [proprietary] LAS Dataset file'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In June 2012 ESRI released ArcGIS 10.1 and introduced the proprietary &amp;quot;LAS Dataset file (*.lasd)&amp;quot; that groups collections of files into one logical unit. This format of this useful LAS container file was not shared with others despite several private and eventually [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/jwHpi0efUgA/discussion public] requests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''2012/2013: Collaboration Discussions'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: There were encouraging follow-ups from the ESRI team about adopting the open LAZ format in January 2012: &amp;quot;I would be interested in having a more in depth meeting with you to better understand the great work you are doing with LAS and how we can possibly better partner on this.&amp;quot; and again in December 2012: &amp;quot;If you have time, I'd like to set some time aside Tuesday afternoon to meet with &amp;lt;an important person&amp;gt; at the ESRI booth. Does 2pm sound okay?&amp;quot; The meeting went well and it looked as if ESRI was going to embrace the LAZ format because shortly after the meeting Martin got word that: &amp;quot;I hear from &amp;lt;an important person&amp;gt; that it was a  success and that he had a good meeting with you. I wanted to see if we can have a telephone discussion on Wednesday or Thursday this week related to the potential of incorporating LAZ into ArcGIS.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Then the first signs of hesitation showed. First there were legal issues raised in February 2013: &amp;quot;Currently the legal aspects are being reviewed. They were having some issues separating the LPGL aspects from LASzip from the remainder of LAStools etc.&amp;quot; and then in April 2013 concerns about the code were made: &amp;quot;We have started to look into the integration of LAZ, but came across some issues. We don’t want to copy files from the other package, mix and match or hack around. We were hoping for an API to stream points out of a LAZ file as well as write LAZ files. There should be a simple code sample for that?&amp;quot; and - following up on that - in June 2013 Martin was told &amp;quot;I see value in LASzip becoming a de-facto standard that provides compression to the LAS format. If this is to happen then it needs to be bundled together with appropriate reference implementations, examples and documentation as a standard and so ensure that issues as defined earlier in email do not occur.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''June 2013: ESRI asked to sponsor clean LASzip DLL'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: At that time [http://laszip.org LASzip] was an open source project without sponsorship. The original funding from [http://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Locations/ColdRegionsResearchandEngineeringLaboratory.aspx USACE] that had turned [http://laszip.org LASzip] from an academic prototype into an industry strength compression engine had long run out. So Martin asked ESRI to become a sponsor to create the clean [http://laszip.org LASzip] API that ESRI was after. The answer was: &amp;quot;ESRI often helps in the financing of Open Source projects and I could foresee ESRI possibly helping in LASzip. [...] If you are interested in promoting LASzip as such a standard and doing the required work then I would recommend you put together a proposal and I can look to get ESRI as a sponsor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Immediately Martin proposed to ESRI: &amp;quot;I hereby propose to write an easy to use open source DLL wrapper for LASzip that will make it easier to integrate LASzip in a standardized manner into other software products such as ArcGIS, LP 360, or Terrasolid. This will come with example code on how to use the DLL for reading and writing LAZ files and include a few compressed example files. I hereby ask ESRI to provide funding for this effort without imposing any limitations on the produced DLL API.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''July 2013: ArcGIS 10.2 includes [proprietary] LAS indexing '''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: With the release of ArcGIS 10.2 in July 2013, ESRI introduced spatial indexing to speed up area-of-interest queries. Their new proprietary *.lasx files were seemingly identical in functionality to the open *.lax files that had been [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/j0qA8NBMHJs/discussion announced] two years earlier - in May 2011 - and were [http://rapidlasso.com/2012/12/03/lasindex-spatial-indexing-of-lidar-data/ presented] at ELMF in November 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''July 2013: Open LASzip API released'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: After more requests for an easier interface to [http://laszip.org LASzip] (in particular for [http://forsys.cfr.washington.edu/fusion/fusionlatest.html USDA's FUSION]), Martin [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/oplsDhhnhDQ/discussion released] a clean, well-documented, and easy-to-use LASzip DLL (without ESRI funding). Martin expected that developers at ESRI would now use it to add read and write support for [http://laszip.org LAZ] to their next release of ArcGIS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''December 2013 : ESRI discovered to be secretly developing proprietary LAS format'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In December of 2013, several LAStools users contacted Martin with suspicions that ESRI may be creating a proprietary LAS compression. Martin [http://rapidlasso.com/2013/12/30/new-compressed-las-format-by-esri/ broke the news] as soon as it became evident that ESRI had used the time it needed to resolve &amp;quot;legal issues&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;code problems&amp;quot; to put together their own proprietary compressed format with near-identical performance and functionality to [http://laszip.org LASzip]. A few days later ESRI released an [http://www.lidarnews.com/content/view/10214/ official FAQ] to confirming this was the case. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: From day one, Martin has worked with stakeholders, including ESRI, to avoid format fragmentation. Martin's core argument for resolving this to everybody's benefit was that - coincidentally - a natural break was happening in the LAS format with the introduction of the new LAS 1.4 point types. Martin outlined a detailed plan for how a joint development of [http://laszip.org LASzip] for LAS 1.4 between rapidlasso and ESRI could exploit this natural break in the LAS format to accomplish two things at once:&lt;br /&gt;
:# Add the unspecified technical additions that ESRI had hinted at desiring, and &lt;br /&gt;
:# Extend the [http://laszip.org LASzip] compression scheme to handle the new point types introduced with the LAS 1.4 specification. As there was no pressing need at the time to handle LAS 1.4 Martin had delayed the extension of [http://laszip.org LASzip] to the new LAS 1.4 point types to make sure a cooperation with ESRI would remain a viable option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''1 April 2014: Positive reception to &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; / LASzip collaboration April Fools announcement'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In an attempt to convince ESRI management of the community desire for an open standard, Martin released an April Fools' Day [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/04/01/esri-and-rapidlasso-develop-joint-lidar-compressor/ prank press release] pretending that ESRI had already agreed to the envisioned collaboration to develop a joint LiDAR compressor. Community [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/04/01/esri-and-rapidlasso-develop-joint-lidar-compressor/ jubilant reactions (see comments)] left no doubt about the sentiment on this issue within the LiDAR community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''October 2014: Announcement of [open] LAS Compatibility mode'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/ Digital Coast, NOAA Coastal Services Center] became a Gold Sponsor of [http://laszip.org LASzip] for the development of the [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/10/06/rapidlasso-announces-laszip-compatibility-mode-for-las-1-4/ LAS 1.4 compatibility mode] that was [http://groups.google.com/d/topic/lastools/nUFMkKSz53g/discussion beta-released] in November 2014. This allowed support for the new point types in [http://laszip.org LASzip] without closing the door on a potential cooperation with ESRI for a joint LAS 1.4 compressor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: '''November 2014: ESRI announces proprietary extension to LAS 1.4'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: In November 2014 [http://blog.lidarnews.com/esri-las-optimizer-updated ESRI announced] that they had added their [http://blog.lidarnews.com/esri-las-optimizer-updated own extension] for the new LAS 1.4 point types to &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;, dismissing the opportunity to develop a joint compressor and avoid format fragmentation by exploiting this &amp;quot;natural break&amp;quot; in the LAS format as Martin had suggested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Since then, ESRI has been [http://rapidlasso.com/2014/11/06/keeping-esri-honest/ promoting] &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot;. By including the term &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; in &amp;quot;Optimized LAS&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;zLAS&amp;quot;, the distinction between the open LAS format and proprietary format is blurred. This is likely to mislead novice and future users, thereby endangering many years of standardization work. To date, [April 2014], the [http://www.asprs.org/a/society/committees/standards/LAS_1_4_r13.pdf custodians of the LAS format], the LAS Working Group (LWG) of the ASPRS has [http://rapidlasso.com/2015/02/22/lidar-las-asprs-esri-and-the-laz-clone/ yet to make an official statement] regarding use of the &amp;quot;LAS&amp;quot; name in promoting a proprietary LiDAR format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Value of Standards=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The importance of Open Standards is described in most government IT policies. For instance, the United Kingdom policy states:&lt;br /&gt;
: … Government assets should be interoperable and open for re-use in order to maximise return on investment, avoid technological or supplier lock-in, reduce operational risk in ICT projects and provide responsive services for citizens and business. This should also lower barriers to entry for more diverse sources of IT services, including citizens and SMEs. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;All about Open Source – [http://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/78959/All_About_Open_Source_v2_0.pdf An Introduction to Open Source Software for Government IT], Version 2.0, United Kingdom Cabinet Office&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of Open Standards has been described in numerous national studies on the effects of standards on economic growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ... the national studies demonstrate that standards have a positive influence on economic growth due to the resulting improved diffusion of knowledge. The contribution of standards to the growth rate in each country is equivalent to 0.9% in Germany, 0.8% in 0.3% in the UK and 0.2% in Canada. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Prof. Dr. Knut Blind, Prof. Dr. Andre Jungmittag, Dr. Axel Mangelsdorf [http://www.din.de/sixcms_upload/media/2896/DIN_GNN_2011_engl_akt_neu.pdf &amp;quot;The Economic Benefits of Standardization&amp;quot;], ''DINN, 2000''.

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA)  signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations.  A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA)  signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations.  A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.&lt;br /&gt;

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA)  signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;

# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations.  A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA)  signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations.  A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.&lt;br /&gt;

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA)  signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations.  A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Please add your name below in either of the two suggested OSGeo edu working sessions if you are interested in participating at FOSS4G in Denver'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BOF sessions are scheduled for Wed Sept 14th from 5:30-8:30 pm. We should definitely have a meeting then. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is also space available for a further meeting on Saturday Sept 17th if people are around and willing to use some of that day to work on content-related activities (TBD). One idea would be to try and have a &amp;quot;Workbook development sprint&amp;quot;?&lt;br /&gt;

* Short individual reports on OSGeo-relevant activities by other participants&lt;br /&gt;
* See if we can come to any consensus on what we as a group should focus on over the next 6 months... for example, can we make any progress collectively on Open Source Desktop and Web handbooks? Should that be our focus? What have individuals done over the last year and are there tangible education-related products they are willing to share with the community? &lt;br /&gt;

== Please add your comments here! ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Peter: Personally I like the idea of something that is similar to the Sydney and Cape Town logos, which incorporate the ribbon as a more central theme, and depict the Rocky Mountains across the top. You can see these logos [[http://foss4g.org/static/index.html here]]. The GITA design is along these lines, but personally I'd like to see a few more options on that idea, perhaps from Steve's designer to get some variety. I like the Sydney logo best, I prefer its simplicity and would vote for something similar in terms of the text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think we also need to consider how the logo appears to an international audience. For example the Colorado license plate is a nice looking logo in many ways, but probably its significance wouldn't be too obvious to people who aren't from here. Some of the others may fall into that category too (don't know whether the Interstate one is included in that or not?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== OSgeo Ribbon ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OSGeo-Ribbon.jpg|thumb|center|alt=OSgeo Ribbon|OSgeo Ribbon.]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Note:''' The final logos must have the OSgeo Ribbon integrated&lt;br /&gt;
FROM RAFAEL: I like the most the CONCEPT-COLORADO logo. I would suggest to change the font color to red-yellow to match the Colorado logo. Also to switch to all caps FOSS4G.&lt;br /&gt;
