ASOG Members,

We need your Vote. Since we’re a young and developing group, from time to time, we’ll need everyone’s input on how to shape and run operations or Rules of Engagement (ROEs). The first topic I would like to run a referendum on is how to manage Global Forum/Group Hubs.

If you didn’t know, your ASOG webpage has a Global Forum/Group Hub area where you can stand up and run a specific discussion or working group, i.e., you‘re the owner of this sub-group and manage the membership and activity. With that, there is the ability for the sub-group owner to restrict other general members from joining, i.e., by invitation only or make it unrestricted for all members to join.

So, the first referendum I would like to get your vote on is:

  • Yes – ASOG webpage Global Forum/Group Hubs can be either restricted or unrestricted.
  • No – ASOG webpage Global Forum/Group Hubs should be unrestricted for all members.

Please send your vote to info@aso-group.org or myself (pryan@aso-group.org) NLT 23 Jan 2018 (next Tue). I’ll let everyone know the outcome of the referendum on 24 Jan 2018. If you have any questions or additional inputs, please let me know. Again, one of the goals of ASOG is to let you the members shape the true form and focus of the group.

Thank You, Everyone,

Cheers!

ASOG Administration (Patrick Ryan)

Hi Everyone,

As some of you know, one of ASOG’s goals is to promote the profession (https://aso-group.ning.com/about-us ). A great method is to share videos or pictures of ASOs doing their job, the systems they use or the missions they fly. The video I posted here (click the image above) highlights the role & responsibilities of an unmanned ISR Sensor Operator Instructor (O’, listen to SSgt Joseph points…spot on!). 

If you have a favorite video or picture that relates to the ASO and aerial remote sensing profession (commercial mapping/surveying, public safety, manned & unmanned collection platforms, sensors, educational lectures, news clips, etc. etc.), let’s see it…just post the link on the Blog Board with a few words highlighting the main points! Also, we’ll share it across our other ASOG Social Media profiles for the public to see.

Thanks Everyone,

Cheers!

ASOG Desk Editor (Patrick)
