CCIP Call for Participation and FOSS4G Early Registration Deadlines Approach.WAYLAND, Mass. -- The Open Geospatial Consortium The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international voluntary consensus standards organization. In the OGC, more than 330 commercial, governmental, nonprofit and research organizations worldwide collaborate in an open consensus process encouraging development and , Inc.

(BOM) and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), is a non-profit non-governmental organization whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open geospatial technologies and data. (OSGeo) are conducting a Climate Challenge Integration Plugfest (CCIP CCIP Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de Paris (Paris Chamber of Commerce, France) CCIP Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional CCIP Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection (New Zealand) ) to be launched at the FOSS4G FOSS4G Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (conference) FOSS4G Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics (Free, Open Source Software for Geomatics Geomatics is the discipline of gathering, storing, processing, and delivering of geographic information, or spatially referenced information. Overview The term "Geomatics" refers to:
CCIP Participants are invited to deploy services that implement OGC standards, or clients for such services, that support the exploration of climate change from a quantitative perspective, with an eye towards a standards framework for collaborative science. The CCIP is a prime opportunity for vendors, users, and other interested parties to mutually refine services, interfaces and protocols in the context of a hands-on engineering experience expected to shape the future of geospatial and imagery-related Web Services software development and Web publication of scientific geospatial data. Participation is encouraged by commercial entities as well as free and open source projects. Companies or individuals interested in participating should respond to the CCIP Call for Participation at http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/CcipCFP by August 10, 2009. A comprehensive list of presentations has been announced for the international FOSS4G conference. Early Bird registration closes on 7 August, 2009. See details at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_21 . The OGC[R] (http://www.opengeospatial.org/) is an international consortium of more than 380 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OpenGIS[R] Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) (http://osgeo.org) has been created to support and build the highest-quality open source geospatial software. The foundation's goal is to encourage the use and collaborative development of community-led projects, data development and education. |
