Hi, Through the mail from Kate we got informed that OSGeo has started a new committee to build a closer relationship with the UN to encourage use of open-source geospatial software. Then I thought, I should also share that in Bangladesh there is a OSGeo community group has been formed in last 17 October, 2015 and the first meeting was held at World Bank office Dhaka.
16 participants representing Geospatial, IT and programming professionals discussed about potentialities, road map of OSGeo in Bangladesh and a demonestration of open data handling by Django using python. The 3 hours meeting ended with the decision to enrich the participants in different geospatial technologies and geospatial languages in a collaborative manner among themselves followed by launching new projects in near future. Opensource Geospatial specialist* Ariel Nunez, from GFDRR-World Bank*, Washington DC presented the potentiality of OSGeo to the interested participants with openstreetmap data extraction and management examples.
