- Invite keynote speaker (e.g. Klaus Deininger

Disaster Management
- contact to BBK (Federal Agency of Germany, located in Bonn), UN Spider, UNOOSA and BICC (Bonn International Center for Conversion), also HOT OSM is involved, perhaps also DLR involved
- perhaps this also might be part of "land information?
- could be a key topic in sight of connectiong Land Information, OpenData and also Remote Sensing as an example?
- How we do that?
  - they want to make at least one (better two) topic talks on "Open Data and Collaborative Mapping - Bridging the application - developer divide"
  - perhaps BOF in order to bring several organisations dealing with desaster management together

Remote Sensing
- EARSEL Conference in Bonn in June
- Copernikus as European Satellite program - Open Data
- How we do that?
  - Keynote from ESA (Bianca Hoersch, Datam anger of Sentinel II)
  - TopicTalk on Copernikus (managed by Christian Strobl from DLR Munich)
  - potential sponsorship from ESA and also DLR (german aroespace agency)

Open Data
- Open Data in the EU; what has been the effect of the EU directive on Open data
- Open data / open source software / open standards. What is their relationship (e.g. is open data the fuel, whereas open source software is the (or: an) engine
- Licensing: what is the impact of several open data license types: how to choose one, and how to use one
- How we do that?
  - one in the series before the core programm (as a "open data tasting session"),
