[OSGeo-Discuss] Providing GeoEducation opportunities to South America

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

Inspite of all the geotechnology developments, students and academics in poor 
countries and regions were left out for many decades. This is now changing fast 
, thanks to the great work done by our GeoForAll Academic colleagues globally.

Next week at FOSS4G-Argentina 2017 [1] will help bring together many of our key 
colleagues to discuss and implement ideas to make sure all students in South 
America will also have  opportunities for geoeducation. Prof Maria Brovelli 
(Chair of GeoForAll Europe and co-chair of UN GGIM Academic Network) will chair 
a special session bringing together our academic colleagues in the region to 
expand geoeducation opportunities for all students in South America for the 
future.

I want to congratulate to Sergio and  all our colleagues in Uruguay on the 
excellent Nation-wide contest for public High School' groups (belonging to Plan 
Ceibal) that is just successfully done. Many congratulations all the teachers 
and students who took part in the National level competition.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8IATbTsp28


Through their focus on Open Principles in Education they have now provided high 
quality spatial technologies education to students in all schools across 
Uruguay . Thanks to the Plan Ceibal they also have free laptops for all Primary 
and Secondary students in the country so they truly have the opportunity to 
reach every student no matter they are rich or poor with high quality teaching 
and learning tools.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orwN9K07XPo (Video with English translation)


Please support Open Principles in GeoEducation, so everyone can benefit. Ideas 
that  starts from nothing are very powerful and keeps expanding exponentially . 
The bigger aim is to also to advance STEM education across the world and bring 
together schools, teachers and students across the world in joint projects and 
help building international understanding and global peace.

We look forward to you joining us.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Let's hope we can make it. It'll be a pleasure and an honor to be there (at 
least in that way). FOSS4G Argentina has assembled a "dream team" of OSGeo 
lecturers!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections status - day 1

[Barry Rowlingson]

I've just dug my voting invite out of the Gmail spam and voted. The discuss
list has been hard to keep up with lately, so I hadn't been aware of the
impending opening of the vote.

The OSGeo calendar http://www.osgeo.org/event/ical is a bit sparse at the
moment. Perhaps we need to track important admin events in a calendar...

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Costly FOSS4Gs

[Jachym Cepicky]

Guys,

the fees are certainly not for normal people from most of the world. Not
talking about travel costs.

But, as active member of the community, you can get considerable discount
(giving workshops, volunteer at sessions, ...).

With FOSS4G-Europe, we aim to bring "little FOSS4G" to more people. And it
seems to be working.

Just 0.02

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Costly FOSS4Gs

[Till Adams]

Dear list,

I can invite everybody, to follow the RfP process for FOSS4G 2019 [1] -
including the questions to the teams. This will show, that we as CC have
the cost factor always in mind. When discussing about prices, please
take into account, that conference fee normally is 1/3 - 1/5 of the
total costs you have when visiting a FOSS4G.

Also I'd like to invite everybody to make even small donations to the
travel grant programme. We will announce, when the TGP for 2018 is setup.

Cheers, Till

Thanks a lot for such a concern and this email. It helped me to trace
"voting" email.

IMO, following information may be useful to search this important email.

Subject: "Invitation to participate in the OSGeo Board of Directors
elections 2017"
From: vas...@geo-spatial.org
In body: "The deadline for this election is 23:59 GMT Tuesday 25th October 2017"

Persons using webbased gmail, may copy and paste following in search
box of gmail:

in:spam from:(vas...@geo-spatial.org) subject:("Invitation to
participate in the OSGeo Board of Directors elections 2017") "The
deadline for this election is 23:59 GMT Tuesday 25th October 2017"

If you wish to search in all other folders (like inbox or osgeo, but
not the spam), use:

from:(vas...@geo-spatial.org) subject:("Invitation to participate in
the OSGeo Board of Directors elections 2017") "The deadline for this
election is 23:59 GMT Tuesday 25th October 2017"

If it found such email in spam, it let you know.

or you may click to following link (if it is not a link, then copy and
paste in browser):

https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#advanced-search/from=vasile%40geo-spatial.org=%22Invitation+to+participate+in+the+OSGeo+Board+of+Directors+elections+2017%22=spam=%22The+deadline+for+this+election+is+23%3A59+GMT+Tuesday+25th+October+2017%22=1d=s_sl=s_smb

It will give you pre-filled search box, and you may adjust data to
meet your need, before pressing  "search" button, and work if you have
not logged in with multiple gmail accounts.

I suggest we all need to vote before that so that Vasile may be saved
from such extra work.
