Testbed-19 demo and OGC/OSGeo/ASF code-sprint

[Martin Desruisseaux <ma...@geomatys.com>]

Hello all

There is two events coming soon. Registration is free for both of them. 
The first event is the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Testbed 19 
Demonstration Days. This is a two-day virtual event next week, 
presenting the outcomes of researches conducted by OGC participants in 
the last 8 months. The topics are:

  * *Geospatial in Space:* explore the use of existing standards for
    other planets and deep space.
  * *Machine Learning:* interoperable/transferable ML Models for Earth
    Observation applications.
  * *Geodatacubes:* demonstration of the newly developed API and
    metadata model.
  * *Analysis Ready Data:* improving the backend standardization for
    making ARD easier to use.
  * *Agile Reference Architecture:* how Resilient Data Services in the
    generation after next will operate.
  * *High Performance Computing:* latest High-Performance Geospatial
    Computing Standards for geospatial analytics.

Apache SIS is involved in the first topic (geospatial in space) as the 
prototype used for encoding a GeoTIFF image in space, and for testing 
coordinate transformations between objects in space. For information are

The second event is the OGC/ASF/OSGeo joint code sprint. This event 
occurred in 2021, 2022, 2023 and this year also, in 6 weeks (February, 
26-28). The location will be Universidade de Évora, Portugal. All open 
source projects are welcome to come. This is an opportunity to do a 
quick presentation or tutorial of your project, and work with others on 
topics such as integration or interoperability between projects, or 
advancing OGC standards. More information are there:

The list of participating projects has not yet been established, but 
will be there:
