Wiki-Rickasmith: /* Members */

== Background ==
The OSGeo Board of Directors met with the UN GIS team at FOSS4G in Seoul, Korea in September 2015. The UN GIS team is very interested in having OSGeo "at the table". Mr. Kyoung-Soo Eom, chief of the UN Geospatial Information Section, has invited OSGeo to be part of a working group on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters to support the UN migration to Open Source Geospatial software solutions.

===UN Open GIS initiative===
"... it is to identify and develop an Open Source GIS bundle that meets the requirements of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission partners (partner nations, technology contributing countries, international organizations, academia, NGO’s, private sector). The strategic approach shall be developed with best and shared principles, standards and ownership, in a prioritized manner that addresses capability gaps and needs without duplicating efforts of other Member States or entities. The UN OpenGIS Initiative strategy shall collaboratively and cooperatively develop, validate, assess, migrate, and implement sound technical capabilities with all the appropriate documentation and training that in the end provides a united effort to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of utilizing Open Source GIS around the world."

== Goals ==

* Support the UN's member states and committees through:
** OSGeo's service providers
** the GeoForAll network
* Emphasize to the UN and its members the benefits of the stable OSGeo stack of projects
* Establish communication between the UN-GIS team and the OSGeo community.
* Foster the outreach activities of OSGeo

== Communication ==

* a new "UN" mailing list has been created, please subscribe at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/un and add your name to the list of this committee members at the end of this page.

== Activities ==

== OSGeo Education and Curriculum Current Initiatives ==

'''The official website is online at ''http://www.geoforall.org''''' - locations: [http://www.geoforall.org/locations/ ICA-OSGeo Map]

=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===

* [http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites

* [[Webinar Series ]]

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===

This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.

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 "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" 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]].

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs network? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:

# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA)
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil)
# Europe - Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Anne Ghilsa (Germany)
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India)
# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa)

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

=== Key requirements for establishing a local Lab and joining the "Geo for All" initiative ===

(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 ,open data and open education in the future.

(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.

(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.

(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO 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 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.

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.

GeoForAll UrbanScience CityAnalytics

2015-03-24T14:36:46Z

Wiki-Rickasmith: /* Who's Here? */

'''Welcome to "Geo for All" Urban Science and City Analytics:''' ''''''CitySmart''''''

* Chairs: Chris Pettit (Australia) and Patrick Hogan (USA)

* Those interested in being part of this theme, subscribe here http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geoforall-urbanscience. Your participation is welcome and needed! All ideas are welcome.

* We support the 'Open Cities Guiding Principles.'
** All material created is made available for all under an Open License
** All material is carefully designed (API-centric modular componentry) so that it can be built upon by others
** All participants aim to reuse, extend and invent material (in that order)

Note that it is eventually desirable to maintain one '''core platform''' architected with an open API for functionalities (menu system), than to have competing platforms. But before we get to that rarefied 'Linux' place, we will benefit from healthy collegial competition, with the best features of each ending up in our collective's decision for the '''core platform''' finale.

== Who's Here? ==
#Please let us know of your '''''interest to participate''''' by adding yourself to this list.
#Please identify yourself as one or more participant categories: '''(a) U - User/practitioner; (b) D-Developer; (c) R - Researcher/Scientist; (d) E - Educator'''. This is important for us to know as it relates to the "Social Dimension" below.

== Key Research Questions ==

* 1. How can we transform existing cities or create new cities that are sustainable, productive and resilient?
** Easy, we work together as one species to solve common problems.
* 2. What is the role and opportunity for big data (and small) in the area of analytics, science and visualisation for shaping our cities?
** The data simply awaits our gracious intelligence to do good things with, not for profit, but ''''''for the benefit of all'''''' per NASA's motto, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA
* 3. 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?
** By making this '''''Road Map''''' a reality, '''''all''''' cities will have something they need yet also own.
** This also gives them a way to share back the solutions they discover ''''''for the benefit of all.''''''

== CitySmart ''''''The Road Map'''''' ==

* We owe this 'first cut' for our CitySmart app to OGC's "Smart Cities Spatial Information Framework"
**http://gisuser.com/2015/02/ogc-smart-cities-spatial-information-framework-white-paper-announced/

* We also heap a world of praise upon Brandt Melick, Information Technology Department Director, Springfield Oregon USA for putting this CitySmart app idea into action! We need to help more cities step forward like this, lead by example! '''http://www.NSDInow.org/SDI_Now_02/Technical_Support.html'''

* We consider a dual push-pull approach: a technology push and an application pull. The push is "People of city X, see this open source app we developed for all of us!"). The pull is "Urban Science and City Analytics experts (Houston), we have a problem! We need your help to design the solution."

# Context-aware ''Recommender Systems'' (added by Antoni Perez Navarro), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recommender_system

* '''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:

# INSPIRE Data Models, http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/2/list/datamodels
# Imagery (3-inch pixel is preferred, 1 foot pixel is less preferred, 1 meter is getting much less preferred)
# Cadastral Information (parcel polygons, Rights of Way (ROW), property ownership, assessment and taxation information and property class)
# Address Information (house number, street name, City, zip, site location (coordinates) and zoning information)
# Jurisdictional boundaries (incorporated areas, city limits, county boundaries, etc.), urban growth boundaries, public safety response areas
# Elevation Information: DEM’s (raster), DTM’s (vector), contours and spot elevation points, as well as mass points and break lines
# Waterways and protected areas: wetlands, fish-bearing streams, endangered species habitat, well-head protection zones, etc.
# Facilities a.k.a. utilities: waste-water, storm-water, transportation systems, power, drinking water, etc. who owns the facility, who maintains the facility, etc.
# Structures/facilities: bridges, building foot prints, complexes, monuments, etc.
# Documents: reference material, procedures, regulations, metadata, etc.
# 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).

* '''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.
* '''Yet to be discussed:'''
** '''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.
** '''Economic challenges''' e.g. creating sustainable Research Infrastructures (RI) for the public and private sector, investigate possibilities for Public Private Partnerships (PPP).
** '''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).

*'''Social dimension sub-roadmap'''
Any serious roadmap on urban science should certainly consider the social dimension. In this respect, we would need a subsequent actions such as:
# 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?
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
# 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.
* A couple important topics here that might be useful in future grant proposals.
** First, the idea that we as a group are undertaking "transdisciplinary research around urban science" (Dedeurwaerdere, 2014). According to Dedeuwaerdere (2014: 138): 'Transdisciplinarity implies that the precise nature of the problem... needs to be defined coorperatively by actors from science and the life-world.'
** 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? Dedeuwaerdere (2014: 139) defines sustainability as the 'maintenance of capital," and is often used in the context of "environmental sustainability" -- the maintenance or non-declining of natural capital. So one question for our group might be what areas of "urban sustainability" might we want to focus our efforts on?

* '''Key City Analytic Needs or Needs by our Community above'''. (Add topic entries or your name under existing entries)
** Crime mapping analytics
*** Tom Mueller

* '''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:
** Imagery, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery
** Cadastral, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadastre
** Elevation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_elevation_model
** Facilities (structures and utilities)
** Waterways and Flood Maps

== CitySmart ''''''The App'''''' ==

'''The Task'''

Develop a '''''CitySmart 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.

The City of Springfield Oregon has already shown us the way forward, http://www.nsdinow.org/SDI_Now_02/Technical_Support.html'''.'''

Some basic requirements:
* 3D Virtual Globe interchangeable or simultaneous with 2D Map along with Projection Choices
* Imagery & Elevation Import
* Extensible Architecture (Modular Componentry)
* Data Retrieval via REST, WMS, WCS, WFS, GML, User-Deﬁned
* OSM Placenames, Boundaries and Roads
* Picking and Decluttering
* Shapeﬁle and KML Import
* Measurement Tools
* Flooding and Line-of-Sight Calculation
* Subsurface Visualization
* Shapes: Placemarks, Path, Polygon, Extruded Polygon, Custom, HTML5-able Balloons
* Volumes (& Shapes), follow terrain or maintain constant elevation above terrain while moving

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.

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.

'''Who Will Do This?'''

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!

'''Why Do This?'''

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.

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'''.'''

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===

This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.

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 "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" 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]].

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs network? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:

# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA)
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil)
# Europe - Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Anne Ghilsa (Germany)
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India)
# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa)

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

=== Key requirements for establishing a local Lab and joining the "Geo for All" initiative ===

(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 ,open data and open education in the future.

(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.

(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.

(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO 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 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.

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.

Wiki-Rickasmith: Updating Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi establishment progress

== 2013-2014 OSGeo Education and Curriculum Current Initiatives ==

'''The official website is online at ''http://www.geoforall.org'''''

=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===

[http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites 
[http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/xmlui/ University of Nottingham's educational content database] (ELOGeo) -- a place for us to store education content (the source code) to share

[[Webinar Series ]]

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===

This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.

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]].


It is really good to see our rapidly expanding global spread.

Feel free to join the mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ica-osgeo-labs to follow the discussions among the participants of this initiative.

The current members of the ICA-OSGeo Network are (please add '''WGS84 decimal coordinates longitude,latitude''', if you don't add the coordinate following this simple rules your institution will not show on the ICA-OSGeo Map) :

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast ,we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions

# Anne Ghisla - Asia & Australia
# Helena Mitasova - North America
# Charlie Schweik - South America
# Suchith Anand - Europe & Africa

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.

The key requirements for establishing a local OSGL are:

(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.

(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.

(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.

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.

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.
