Subject: [Geo4All] Final CFP (go.illinois.edu/gsi-cfp2): Second NSF Workshop on Conceptualizing a National Geospatial Software Institute
Dear colleagues,
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has recently funded a project (http://gsi.cigi.illinois.edu) to conceptualize a national Geospatial Software Institute (GSI) as a long-term hub of excellence in geospatial software that can serve diverse research and education communities. We have strong momentum to conceptualize the GSI after the first workshop: http://gsi.cigi.illinois.edu/workshop/agenda/ that was a great success. The second workshop will take place in Chicago, IL, USA on July 15-17, 2018. July 15th is intended for an ice-breaking event on the evening so that most participants will be ready for the morning program on July 16th. We plan to wrap up the workshop by 1pm on July 17th.
We are inviting position papers: http://go.illinois.edu/gsi-cfp2 due on June 1, 2018, and look forward to your submissions. If your position paper is selected, you will receive NSF travel support to attend the workshop. Your help for spreading the word is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & best,
-Shaowen
