&lt;div&gt;'''Welcome to CitySmart for Urban Infrastructure Management'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''''CitySmart''''' will be a suite of tools to benefit city operations, such as management of urban infrastructure (utilities, traffic, services, etc.). The purpose will be to continually add and advance functionalities serving urban management, for more efficient operations and with ultimate consideration for increasing sustainability and quality of urban life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Chairs: All Cities (on Earth), Chris Pettit (Australia) and Patrick Hogan (USA)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Those interested in being part of this global enterprise, please subscribe here  http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opencitysmart. Your participation is welcome! Bring a city along with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We support the 'Open Source Guiding Principles:'&lt;br /&gt;
** All material created is made available for all under an Open License&lt;br /&gt;
** All material is designed to be extended by others, API-centric, modular componentry. &lt;br /&gt;
** All participants aim to reuse, optimize, extend and add new components (in that order :-)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our intent here is that we have one powerful '''open platform''' that's easy to add functionalities to and that are easy to share.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's a '''CitySmart''' ''''''platform'''''' look like?===&lt;br /&gt;
[http://nsdinow.org/SDI_Now_02/Technical_Support_files/SDI-Now_v01.pdf A rough draft!] Thank you City of Springfield Oregon, a brilliant guidepost for navigating the OpenCitySmart terrain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

## I work with the southern 15 counties of Mississippi and all cities and towns contained within.  A few cities and counties have advanced GIS, mostly proprietary, but much of the area is rural with little to no GIS budget, so I plan to train myself so I can train others and spread GIS to more areas in the public sector.  I think this project can help me to do that.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Key Research Questions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How can we transform cities to be more sustainable, productive and resilient?&lt;br /&gt;
** Facilitate the ability for cities to work together in addressing issues all cities must face.&lt;br /&gt;
* How can we empower cities, their citizens, community groups, planners, policy and decision-makers to work cohesively in addressing the issues our cities face such that they successfully engage in a sustainable urban future?&lt;br /&gt;
** We build an app whose functionalities  '''''all''''' cities can '''''share''''' and every city will also own. &lt;br /&gt;
** If cities have a way to share solutions they generate for themselves, we address our own needs yet end up serving the interest of all. That's compound interest!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=='''''The Road Map''''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We can thank 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; for a good start on defining the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We can thank Brandt Melick, Information Technology Department Director, Springfield Oregon USA for putting this [http://www.NSDInow.org/SDI_Now_02/Technical_Support.html OpenCitySmart] app idea into action! Will your city step forward to help lead our shared effort to make cities more productive and more livable? &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Data sharing''' – Cities need to be able to share information with site developers, site constraint specialists (environmental scientists, planners and engineers), utility service providers and regulators.    These data sets most often include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/2/list/datamodels INSPIRE Data Models]&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery Imagery] Resolution, 3-inch pixel is preferred, 1-foot pixel less so, 1-meter much less so&lt;br /&gt;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadastre 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;
# [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_elevation_model 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;
# Infrastructure/utilities: waste-water, storm-water, transportation systems, power, drinking water, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Structures/facilities: bridges, building foot-prints, complexes, monuments, etc., facility contacts, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# Documents: reference material, procedures, regulations, metadata, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# LiDAR, invaluable data, needing the tools to put it to good use. The City of Springfield has high resolution LiDAR, 8 points per meter. Though they put it to good use, they want even better tools to work with it (i.e., our OpenCitySmart app). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Challenges''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Technical''' e.g. raw data made usable, data dating, accurate geo-reference conversion, unit conversion (i.e., metric/standard), data storage, data security, firewalls, standardized metadata, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Legal''' e.g. investigating and suggesting the required framework to preserve privacy, ensure equity (equality in access to data and computing capacities), protecting IP and copyrights.&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Economic''' e.g. creating sustainable Research Infrastructures for the public and private sector, investigate possibilities for Public Private Partnerships.&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Social''' e.g. fostering public engagement in 'Big Data,' community participation in evaluation of current practices, data gathering, analysis and privacy issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Social dimension sub-roadmap''' - Any serious roadmap on urban management must consider the social dimension. In this respect, we need to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Identify necessary incentives and natural barriers for participation. How can we organize to meet the needs of the citizens affected? For instance, for academics, it might be how to utilize or create peer-review publication venues for contributed work that can reach the community. For practitioners, can we define the city's key or most pressing needs? For commercial 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, such as the users, customers, consumers, instead of focusing on producers of data, infrastructure, software and services. Beneficiaries might be: urban planners, city councils, citizens, teachers and students, scientists, and academia, 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 representatives of an intended target group, e.g. with champions in digital social innovation, or via associations that are directly connected to these communities, such as citizen associations.&lt;br /&gt;
# Engage with these people in order to identify '''their real needs for city analytics.''' This will help to accurately identify requirements, and acquire direct feedback. this should also include them in continuously active review panels.&lt;br /&gt;
# Evaluate the impact of proposed development activity, on existing development and on the natural environment. For city development 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.&lt;br /&gt;

== CitySmart ''''''The App'''''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Task'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Develop an '''''CitySmart App''''' based on 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;
* Open Street Map (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. This app will have an open API for the menu system, for easy-to-add functionalities. This will allow each city to tailor the OpenCitySmart app for their specific use. This will also allow the world community to continually optimize 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;
We ask academic and other community oriented organizations, such as those listed as [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Opencitysmart#Natural_Partners Natural Partners], to help us with the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Opencitysmart#The_Road_Map Road Map]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Why Do This?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because there is a world full of urban management need, much of which is identical no matter the city. If you are brave and good, just build it and be a lightning rod for our brighter future.  The Region and Theme Chairs will evaluate self-identifying contributions, http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll'''.''' &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;__FORCETOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Introduction =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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:&lt;br /&gt;
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See &amp;quot;login&amp;quot; link in top right of this page).&lt;br /&gt;
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&amp;amp;action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).&lt;br /&gt;
* 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:&lt;br /&gt;
  {{User:&amp;lt;YourOSGeoWikiUserName&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;

= Past OSGeo Advocates =&lt;br /&gt;
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Understanding OSGeo roles =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====&lt;br /&gt;
: 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====&lt;br /&gt;
: 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).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====&lt;br /&gt;
: 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Expenses =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:&lt;br /&gt;
* Travel, typically including:&lt;br /&gt;
** airfare&lt;br /&gt;
** visa&lt;br /&gt;
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)&lt;br /&gt;
** meals during travel&lt;br /&gt;
** transit costs to local and host airports&lt;br /&gt;
* Accommodation&lt;br /&gt;
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event&lt;br /&gt;
** high speed internet&lt;br /&gt;
* Per diem costs&lt;br /&gt;
** 3 meals a day&lt;br /&gt;
* Speakers fee&lt;br /&gt;
** 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)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
