INSPIRE Hack 2017: Open Data, Volunteered Geographic Information and
Citizen Observatories
4-5 September – KEHL - Germany
This is the second edition of the INSPIRE Hack, i.e. a hackathon that
is part of the INSPIRE Conference 2017. This time, the hackathon will
start early in July 2017 when hackathon teams will be created and will
start working on their projects before the INSPIRE Conference.
The INSPIRE Conference will serve as a platform for presenting the hackathon
results. All the hackathon teams will present their projects during a
dedicated workshop at the INSPIRE Conference.
The workshop including the award ceremony will take place either on 4th
or 5th September 2017 in Kehl, Germany.
The INSPIRE Hack supports creativity, innovation, technical capabilities
and knowledge sharing. The INSPIRE Hack focuses on methods where citizens
are able to contribute to different environmental and societal issues
through smart phones and other sensors.

EFITA 2017
The EFITA 2017 congress was really interesting and impressive with a very good participation of mainly young people (around 250 inscriptions). The Hackathon as well as the B2B session were something new for the old guy I am. The keynote speakers were excellent even if I would like sometimes to hear more from real case experiments. The gala dinner in the countryside close to Pic Saint Loup was very nice.
The organisational committee (Orlabe Gadet, Jean-Pierre Chanet, Olivier Naud, Bruno Tisseyre) did a fantastic job. When I arrived at the Montpellier Agricultural University in 1970 I thought that I was close to paradise. The University as well as the Montpellier town changed a lot for the best but still are close to paradise!
EFITA 2019 will take place in Greece.

Allegory
of the young American vineyards the young woman)
saving the old French (& European) vineyards the old woman) after the phylloxera disaster at the end of the XIX century Statue to glorify Gustave Foëx at the Ag University of Montpellier Gustave Foëx (Gustave Louis Émile Foëx, born in Marseille in 1844 - died in 1906) was a French ampelographer and a colleague of Pierre Viala. Gustave Foëx who was Director of the National School of Agriculture of Montpellier (French: École nationale d’agriculture de Montpellier, now known as Supagro) from 1881 to 1897 was a professor of viticulture here from 1870 to 1896 and he created the school vineyard in 1876 to test the American vine-stock’s resistance to phylloxera). At the end of the 19th century, Montpellier was recognized to be THE European centre for studying vines, attracting both eminent researchers and viticulture specialists to the school. (wikipedia) |

Harris GeoSpacial
Too often in agriculture, a one-size-fits-all approach of applying uniform amounts of water, fertilizers, and pesticides is standard procedure even though it isn’t reliably effective. Now Ag businesses can tailor crop management decisions by using modern precision agriculture techniques – scientifically proven approaches that analyze remotely sensed data such as satellite and UAV imagery. Whether it’s data or analytics, Harris Geospatial Solutions is your source to maximize yields and boost profits.

Jewish women
A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he's been given a part in the school play.
"Wonderful. What part is it?"
The boy says, "I play the part of the Jewish husband."
The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."
