• Official kickoff f2f meeting in Stuttgart (more info): the kick-off would be on Friday Sep 14 after the OGC TC meeting
  • The kick-off is overlaping with a lot of events: EuroGEOSS meeting, INSPIRE conference, NextGEOSS meeting,...
  • But OGC is providing a free room for it and OGC people can be targeted
  • There is no need to go to the kick off to be part of the activity. But we are encouraging to attend
  • WeObserve Hackathon. Too short notice to organize in the next TC. May be in the next TC or another activity of CoP.
    • Who is needed in the room?
    • Other alternatives:
      • https://www.cowm.eu/. Venece (connected with plan4all ?)
      • Air Quality with "OK labs" in Stuttgart (https://luftdaten.info/, https://codefor.de/stuttgart/)
      • Workshop at: October 26-28, 2018 Ravensbourne College in London, England (https://mozillafestival.org/proposals)
      • Consider complementarity
        • https://www.plan4all.eu/inspire-hackathon-2018/ focused in APIs. Only a week/day later
        • COST action hackathon results at the beginning of October) https://www.cs-eu.net/news/house-apps-create-great-apps-citizens
• What is new from the activity plan that needs to be added to the inception report of the CoPs
• Involvement in EC2020
  • Combination of 2 activities:
    1. an app to get new data
    2. connect to existing activities
  • Contribute to GEOSS with the 1*10^9 points as GEOSS data CORE
  • This activity will need interoperability on data. Commons models can be based on a similar EV concepts (but they are more focus in Climate and Biodiversity than in Air quality and health).
• The OGC IE can help to test as well as propose standards for citizen science.
  • International group on CitSci form data and metadata working on this. Interested in CitSci interoperability about catalogues from the US: https://scistarter.com/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlene_Cavalier.
  • Past work of the international group: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/citizen-science-association-data-metadata-working-group-report-csa-2017-and-future-outlook, latest news: https://www.cs-eu.net/sites/default/files/media/2018/06/COST-WG5-GenevaDeclaration-Report-2018.pdf.

• Report on the 3 subtopics. We have decided on 3 representatives of the 3 subactivities.
  • SWE4SC (Andy Cobley):
