Geocrowdsourcing CitizenScience FOSS4G

2016-08-04T12:13:03Z

Wiki-Tosseto: /* GeoForAll GeoCrowd 'Links to VGI, Geocrowdsourcing, Citizen Science and FOSS4G' */

'''Welcome to the GeoForAll GeoCrowd'''

Today citizens, acting in groups or as individuals, are generating vast volumes of geographic data and information. Citizens now have the ability to actively or passively embedded or link a geographical coordinate, object or area to digitally generated content from their smartphones, social media, sensors such as cameras or GPS, sensor networks, software embedded in devices and the Internet of things. How can we take advantage, in a sustainable and efficient manner, of these oceans of geographic data and information? Free and Open Source Software For Geoinformatics (FOSS4G) can provide citizens, scientists, policy makers and industry with a means of generating, collecting, analysing, visualising and managing these data streams. The possibilities are only limited by our imagination. Research into how to take advantage of this deluge of data can make a significant contribution to our society paving the way for a more sustainable future in a natural environment protected and enhanced for this generation and those yet to come.

There are three principal methodologies which best describe this current situation.

*'''Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI):''' Including the famous examples of OpenStreetMap, WikiMapia, Google Mapmaker, Geograph project, etc and then many smaller less well known examples. The citizen or the group of citizens are actively and physically involved in the task of data collection, data generation, data management, etc.
*'''Passive, Ambient, Involunteered Geographic Information, Geocrowdsourcing :''' This includes systems and services where the citizen or a group are not actively or physically involved in the task of generating, collecting, managing geographical data. This includes geocoded tweets in Twitter, georeferenced images in Instagram, geolocated social media and media content. This can also include data and information generated by 'sensors' carried by citizens such as GPS-enabled smartphone technologies, wearable devices, etc. This geocoded or georeferenced online content can then be harvested or analysed by scientists, industry and others.
*'''Citizen Science:''' This is where citizens or groups of citizens are involved in scientific research usually with authoritative scientific organisations. There is usually a scientific question or task involved as the driver to this interaction.

The GeoForAll GeoCrowd central theme is: Using FOSS4G how can these three conceptually similar methodologies be optimally exploited by researchers and scientists in order to reuse and repurpose geographic data for sustainable development, environmental protection, education, etc?

'''In summary the GeoForAll GeoCrowd theme is:'''

* Chaired by: Peter Mooney (Ireland) and Maria A Brovelli (Italy)

* How do I become involved? Anyone interested in being part of this theme, subscribe here http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geoforall-GeoCrowd. Your participation is appreciated and needed! All ideas are welcome. All material posted will be helpful. If you would like to edit this Wiki page you shall need to create an account on OSGeo to give you access to Wiki editing.

* We can be most successful with this theme if we are all happy to support the 'VGI, Geocrowdsourcing, Citizen Science and FOSS4G Guiding Principles:'
** All material created is made available for everyone's use under an Open License
** All material is carefully designed so that it can be extended by others
** All participants aim to reuse, optimize, extend and add new components and information (in that order)
** All members and participants of the theme will endeavor to keep the links and material on this Wiki page checked regularly so that broken links or changes can be detected quickly and rectified.

## Full Professor of GIS - Politecnico di Milano Italy
## VGI, Geocrowdsourcing and Citizen Science are themes I have been interested in and working on since many years. I strongly believe that while in the past cartographers and geographers helped in discovering new worlds, now our challenge is to rediscover our common world with new augmented eyes of environmental-social-economic equity, sustainability and participation. On this purpose the synergy people-FOSS4G plays a vital role.

== Interested in joining or supporting the "Geo for All" initiative? ==

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 Peter Mooney (Ireland)
# 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 joining the "Geo for All Labs" initiative ===

(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the Geo for All 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.

(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 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.

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.
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.

== 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]].

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.

== Current members of the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs Network ==



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.

There are two tables, the first one for university/education/schools members ; second table for Industry ,Government and NGO partners of "Geo for All" mission, please select one accordingly.All interested organisations joining as "labs" or "partners"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.

To add a new member copy an existing table entry (uses Mediawiki syntax) and input your information. The coordinates are '''WGS84 decimal coordinates''' in format '''longitude, latitude'''; if you don't add the coordinates following this rule your institution will not show on the [http://www.geoforall.org/locations/ ICA-OSGeo Map].

# 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 joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===

(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.

(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 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.

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.
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.

== 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]].

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.

== Current members of the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs Network ==



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.

There are two tables, the first one for university/education/schools members ; second table for Industry ,Government and NGO partners of "Geo for All" mission, please select one accordingly.All interested organisations joining as "labs" or "partners"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.

# 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 joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===

(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.

(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 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.

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.
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.

* [[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]].

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.

== Current members of the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs Network ==



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.

There are two tables, the first one for university/education/schools members ; second table for Industry ,Government and NGO partners of "Geo for All" mission, please select one accordingly.All interested organisations joining as "labs" or "partners"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.

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 joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===

(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.

(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 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.

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.
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.

== 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]].

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.

== Current members of the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs Network ==



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.

There are two tables, the first one for university/education/schools members ; second table for Industry ,Government and NGO partners of "Geo for All" mission, please select one accordingly.All interested organisations joining as "labs" or "partners"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.

== Interested in joining or supporting the "Geo for All" initiative? ==

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 Peter Mooney (Ireland)
# 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 joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===

(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.

(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 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.

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.
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.

Today citizens, acting in groups or as individuals, are generating vast volumes of geographic data and information. Citizens now have the ability to actively or passively embedded or link a geographical coordinate, object or area to digitally generated content from their smartphones, social media, sensors such as cameras or GPS, sensor networks, software embedded in devices and the Internet of things. How can we take advantage, in a sustainable and efficient manner, of these oceans of geographic data and information? Free and Open Source Software For Geoinformatics (FOSS4G) can provide citizens, scientists, policy makers and industry with a means of generating, collecting, analysing, visualising and managing these data streams. The possibilities are only limited by our imagination. Research into how to take advantage of this deluge of data can make a significant contribution to our society paving the way for a more sustainable future in a natural environment protected and enhanced for this generation and those yet to come.

There are three principal methodologies which best describe this current situation.

*'''Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI):''' Including the famous examples of OpenStreetMap, WikiMapia, Google Mapmaker, Geograph project, etc and then many smaller less well known examples. The citizen or the group of citizens are actively and physically involved in the task of data collection, data generation, data management, etc.
*'''Passive, Ambient, Involunteered Geographic Information, Geocrowdsourcing :''' This includes systems and services where the citizen or a group are not actively or physically involved in the task of generating, collecting, managing geographical data. This includes geocoded tweets in Twitter, georeferenced images in Instagram, geolocated social media and media content. This can also include data and information generated by 'sensors' carried by citizens such as GPS-enabled smartphone technologies, wearable devices, etc. This geocoded or georeferenced online content can then be harvested or analysed by scientists, industry and others.
*'''Citizen Science:''' This is where citizens or groups of citizens are involved in scientific research usually with authoritative scientific organisations. There is usually a scientific question or task involved as the driver to this interaction.

The GeoForAll GeoCrowd central theme is: Using FOSS4G how can these three conceptually similar methodologies be optimally exploited by researchers and scientists in order to reuse and repurpose geographic data for sustainable development, environmental protection, education, etc?

'''In summary the GeoForAll GeoCrowd theme is:'''

* Chaired by: Peter Mooney (Ireland) and Maria A Brovelli (Italy)

## Full Professor of GIS - Politecnico di Milano Italy
## VGI, Geocrowdsourcing and Citizen Science are themes I have been interested in and working on since many years. I strongly believe that while in the past cartographers and geographers helped in discovering new worlds, now our challenge is to rediscover our common world with new augmented eyes of environmental-social-economic equity, sustainability and participation. On this purpose the synergy people-FOSS4G plays a vital role.

OSGeo Advocate

2014-07-26T13:52:32Z

Wiki-Tosseto: /* Asia:Japan */

__FORCETOC__

= Introduction =

OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.

= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =

Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}

= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.

= Past OSGeo Advocates =
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.

= Understanding OSGeo roles =

Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:

====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.

====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.

==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.

====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).

====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.

====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.

====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.

= Expenses =

This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.

When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:
* Travel, typically including:
** airfare
** visa
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)
** meals during travel
** transit costs to local and host airports
* Accommodation
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event
** high speed internet
* Per diem costs
** 3 meals a day
* Speakers fee
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)

For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]

Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.

= Other Resources =

Live GIS History

2012-07-16T00:11:08Z

Wiki-Tosseto:

Where has the LiveDVD been used? Please tell us. A history of wide use provides justification for future developers to include, and improve their application on OSGeo-Live.

== Template Questions ==
* date of the event, City, Country
* link to event webside
* Was OSGeo-Live handed out to attendees? How many were handed out? Were USBs or DVDs handed out? How many were handed out?
* Was the OSGeo-Live lightening overview presented? To how many people? Was it a plenary event? If not, what percentage of the attendees attended this talk? Did you get any feedback? What did you hear?
* Was OSGeo-Live used for workshops? What did the workshop cover. Was the USB/DVD or VM used? Were attendees computers used? If so, what operating systems were they running? How long did it take to set up? Were there any issues?
* Any suggestions on what we can do to improve OSGeo-Live for future?

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==

=== 背景 ===
Sol Katz はスウェーデンに生まれ１歳の頃ニューヨークに移り住みました。
イディッシュ語が彼の初めの言葉でしたが、彼は素晴らしく聡明で、ヘブライ語と英語を速やかに学びました。
高校を卒業した後、３年間を米空軍で過し、ドイツに駐留し、そこでもう一つの言語を学びました。
短い軍歴の後、彼は２年半で地質学学位を取得したニューヨークのブルックリン大学へ進学することに決めました。
その後彼は1969年に妻Hedyと結婚し、ニューヨークの公立高校で教師をする間、ブルックリン大学へ戻り、地質学の修士を取得しました。
幾つかの州のU.S.土地管理局（U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM)）で働いた数年の後、コロラド州レークウッドに落ち着き、コンピュータサイエンスのデンバー大学の学校に戻り、２つ目の修士号を取得しました。
この時、彼は二人の子供ShannaとRisaも得ました。
彼は、オフィスにおいても、彼の子供の学校においても、家庭においても愛されていました。
いつも笑い声とユーモアに満ち、Solは彼の派手なハワイアンシャツとオオハシやプロペラの帽子ですぐに見分けられました。悲しいことに、非ホジキンリンパ腫と10年間の戦ったのち、Solは1999年4月23日に亡くなりました。

彼の息女提供による写真:

[[Image:Solomon-Katz2.jpg]]

=== オープンソース ===
Sol Katz は GFOSSの初期の開発者で、彼のU.S.土地利用局におけるアプリケーション形態とフォーマット仕様とユーティリティの仕事の大部分が残されています。
80年代の初め、Solは [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]](Map Overlay and Statistical System) と呼ばれるパブリックドメインのGISパッケージの開発を援助しました。
このソフトウェアはほぼ間違いなく世界で初めてのオープンソースGISソフトウェアでした。
Solは後にPC MOSSのリリースと保守を続けました。
彼はまた、公共データ変換ユーティリティに関係した人物でもありました。
彼がDEMの変換とSDTSファイルの読み込みのために開発したユーティリティは地理空間コミュニティに提供され、今でも存在します。
Solは多くの地理空間リストサーバーもよく提供し、多くのガイダンスをあまねく地理空的コミュニティに提供しました。
BLMのSol KatzGISユーティリティコレクションは ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ にまだあります。
彼の遺産はまだオープンソース界に残されています。

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==

=== 背景 ===
Sol Katz はスウェーデンに生まれ１歳の頃ニューヨークに移り住みました。
イディッシュ語が彼の初めの言葉でしたが、彼は素晴らしく聡明で、ヘブライ語と英語を速やかに学びました。
高校を卒業した後、３年間を米空軍で過し、ドイツに駐留し、そこでもう一つの言語を学びました。
短い軍歴の後、彼は２年半で地質学学位を取得したニューヨークのブルックリン大学へ進学することに決めました。
その後彼は1969年に妻Hedyと結婚し、ニューヨークの公立高校で教師をする間、ブルックリン大学へ戻り、地質学の修士を取得しました。
幾つかの州のU.S.土地管理局（U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM)）で働いた数年の後、コロラド州レークウッドに落ち着き、コンピュータサイエンスのデンバー大学の学校に戻り、２つ目の修士号を取得しました。
この時、彼は二人の子供ShannaとRisaも得ました。
彼は、オフィスにおいても、彼の子供の学校においても、家庭においても愛されていました。
いつも笑い声とユーモアに満ち、Solは彼の派手なハワイアンシャツとオオハシやプロペラの帽子ですぐに見分けられました。悲しいことに、非ホジキンリンパ腫と10年間の戦ったのち、Solは1999年4月23日に亡くなりました。

=== オープンソース ===
Sol Katz は GFOSSの初期の開発者で、彼のU.S.土地利用局におけるアプリケーション形態とフォーマット仕様とユーティリティの仕事の大部分が残されています。
80年代の初め、Solは [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]](Map Overlay and Statistical System) と呼ばれるパブリックドメインのGISパッケージの開発を援助しました。
このソフトウェアはほぼ間違いなく世界で初めてのオープンソースGISソフトウェアでした。
Solは後にPC MOSSのリリースと保守を続けました。
彼はまた、公共データ変換ユーティリティに関係した人物でもありました。
彼がDEMの変換とSDTSファイルの読み込みのために開発したユーティリティは地理空間コミュニティに提供され、今でも存在します。
Solは多くの地理空間リストサーバーもよく提供し、多くのガイダンスをあまねく地理空的コミュニティに提供しました。
BLMのSol KatzGISユーティリティコレクションは ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ にまだあります。
彼の遺産はまだオープンソース界に残されています。
