Nicolas, thank you for reaching out about OSGeo Live entry in the UCGIS GIS&T Body of Knowledge https://gistbok.ucgis.org/bok-basic-page/welcome-gist-body-knowledge It was formerly a printed book, the new edition is a dynamic, peer reviewed on-line document heavily used for designing and teaching university level courses so it is a high impact initiative.
First a little bit of background: I was invited to comment on several topics and to write on Open Source Software Development in Programming and Development knowledge area together with Anna and Vasek https://gistbok.ucgis.org/all-topics?term_node_tid_depth=93 There is already quite a bit of open source material, e.g. here https://gistbok.ucgis.org/bok-topics/python-gis https://gistbok.ucgis.org/bok-topics/pysal-and-spatial-statistics-libraries https://gistbok.ucgis.org/bok-topics/r-geospatial-analysis-and-mapping https://gistbok.ucgis.org/bok-topics/gis-apis but I felt that OSgeo Live and some other topics should be covered as well and I was asked to provide suggestions for possible authors. The topics have a prescribed template and the existing entries linked above provide good examples of how the text and figures should look like. I made a suggestion for including OSGeo Live in Computing Platforms Knowledge Area and the editor in chief John Wilson is interested in including it in Examples and Applications https://gistbok.ucgis.org/all-topics?term_node_tid_depth=92 So please let me know whether I can provide your name and perhaps others who could take this task on - you would be then officially invited by the topic editor Thank you, Helena > On Aug 7, 2020, at 11:29 AM, Nicolas Roelandt <roelandtn....@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Helena, > > I come back to you on behalf of the OSGeoLive project. > Angelos told us that you wanted an article about OSGeoLive for UCGIS. > > I would like to help you into this matter, can you give us more details about > it please ? > > Thanks in advance, > > Best regards, > > Nicolas Roelandt > OSGeo Charter member > OSGeo-fr board > OSGeoLive PSC Helena Mitasova Professor at the Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences Associate director and faculty fellow at the Center for Geospatial Analytics North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695-8208 hmit...@ncsu.edu "All electronic mail messages in connection with State business which are sent to or received by this account are subject to the NC Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties.” _______________________________________________ osgeolive mailing list osgeolive@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeolive
