GeoQ Talking Points

# [GeoQ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/ngageoint/geoq/doc/Combined%20GitHub%20GeoQ%20Fact%20Sheetrdb%20WITH%20PUB%20REL.docx) on GitHub - What are we accomplishing so far? Launched April 4th 2014. *** **Transparency:** Engaging all levels of government, industry, academia, and others through understanding, ideas, insight and lessons learned. * [Crisis Support GitHub Repositories:](https://github.com/ngageoint) [GeoQ](https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq), [GeoEvents](https://github.com/ngageoint/geoevents), [RFI Generator](https://github.com/ngageoint/rfi-generator), [Gamification Server](https://github.com/ngageoint/gamification-server), [3 - Chef Installers](https://github.com/ngageoint) * [In The News](https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq/wiki/In-The-News), [CNN Video](http://security.blogs.cnn.com/?s=nga+tornado), [White House Briefing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eiXjbhfOc#t=26m13s), [Forbes](http://www.forbes.com/sites/federicoguerrini/2014/12/29/the-white-house-strategy-to-improve-disaster-resilience-unlock-data-and-challenge-innovators-to-make-the-most-out-of-them/), [Washington Post](http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/on-it/white-house-hosts-forum-to-discuss-open-data-and-public-safety/2014/01/17/ec7616ba-7d46-11e3-93c1-0e888170b723_story.html), [World Bank](http://www.worldbank.org/en/events/2014/08/06/landconference2015#4), [Humanitarian Open Street Map Team (HOT) Summit 2015](http://summit.hotosm.org/program/), GEOINT Symposium [2014](http://geointv.com/archive/geoint-2013-keynote-letitia-a-long/) _(40:40)_, 2015, [GeoEnergy Summit](https://twitter.com/joefrancica/status/532553242484670464), [Top 30 Finalists for Igniting Innovation 2014](https://actiac.org/custom-links/10005/54950/62288) and [many other articles](https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq/wiki/In-The-News) * [GeoQ is in the top 10 government repositories on GitHub](https://github.com/showcases/government) * GeoQ Telecon * [GeoQ GitHub Map](http://jrvis.com/red-dwarf/?user=ngageoint&repo=geoq) * POTUS Brief (not bad for no funding)

Participating and Partnering on the WWW:

• White House Fellows, FEMA, Geo Huntsville, Civil Air Patrol, NPLI, universities, industry (Fulcrum, Mapillary), private citizens, and others.

Implemented Ideas: To generate efficiencies and innovation in tradecraft, tools, and techniques.

• Common Work Flow (Local, State, Tribal, Federal, IC, DoD, Foreign Partners) - Projects, Jobs and Work cells - unassigned, assigned, in work, awaiting review, completed
• Crowd Sourcing: tailor your own crowd
• Area vs. Image: eliminate imagery overlap (think outside the frame)
• Common and Structured Observations
• Expose dynamic content in real-time to GeoQ analysts, COPs*, and products
• Integrated QA/QC
• Rapidly integrate traditional and nontraditional/evolving data sources and services (data tsunami)
• Built for centralized or federated data discovery and dissemination
• Easy and intuitive*
• Built for the cloud
• Open source, open APIs and open data standards
• No licensing (HTML5) web-browser-based (desktop, laptop, mobile)
• Automated deconfliction of damage classes (topology)

Transformation: Unclassified Agility & Rapid Prototyping "Concept Car" to drive changes in traditional engineering and acquisition.

• We can validate ideas in days/weeks. (concept car)
• Following the TechFAR, 2012 Digital Government Strategy, and U.S. Digital Services Playbook
• Recycling taxpayer-funded code
• Providing industry real-time insight into our needs (show them not just tell them)

Business Analytics: Enabling real-time, continuous and self-service access to data.

• Timeline
• Project, job and work cell status*
• Dynamic and static reporting* of resources and response
• Measurement of services: Availability, Access, SLA's

Gamification: Engage the work force and incentivize quality

• Promote quality and quantify tradecraft with points and badges
• Supports standardized web training (EdX)

Feedback: Non-biased testing and evaluation Fail Fast!!!

Change the Geoint Collaboration Model: (fishing poles)

• Teaching others to take the lead and manage events (federation of workload)
• Collaborate and coordinate with others in real-time
• Transcend legal and policy hurdles

Our Strategic Engineering Guidance: (If you don't know where you are going any path will get you there.)

• 1. User focused and makes their job easier, faster, more accurate
• 2. Rewards sharing and promotes tradecraft
• 3. Enables work flow
• 4. Web browser based as a service
• 5. Promotes agility/federated access
• 6. Integrated on all domains and transportable
• 7. Open/common standards
• 8. Open source
• 9. Handheld compatible
• 10. WWW accessible
• 11. Supports disconnected operations
• 12. Centralizes discovery
• 13. Built for the cloud
• 14. Follows a proven business model

Consequence:

• Moore, Oklahoma (Helicopter news footage, Real-time, East, West, Home collaboration, Assessment was >90% complete and accurate before first traditional image, clean topology, gamification)
• Colorado Floods
• Typhoon Maysak
• Civil Air Patrol Exercises
• Nepal Earthquake*
• Data Source for Nepal
• Saipan - Typhoon Soudelor (Aug. 2015)

The Way Forward:

• Integration with open source tools and crowds
• Join us on Github
• Pull our code and use as you wish
• Further discussions on workflow and lessons learned
