[okfn-labs] Status of forestwatchers

Wed Jun 5 12:35:37 UTC 2013

I'm sure you've heard the recent news on Landsat8, exciting news for
forest researchers.  Anyway, I would like to follow-up on ways to use
forestwatchers tools for monitoring our local forests here.

Is there a way to discuss or meet?
