[Suchith Anand]

This might be of interest.


Last few hours to apply for the RDA grants for new RDA Early Career Researchers 
and Experts to the 13th RDA Plenary meeting to be held in Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania, USA 2-4 April 2019.


The purpose of the grants is to encourage and support participation of 
individuals who have a strong interest in RDA, and are drivers or adopters of 
one or more of the RDA outputs to enable data sharing by or from their project 
or organisation.


In this second wave, RDA Europe offers up to five grants for experts and seven 
for Early career researchers working with data to share ideas, experiences and 
practical advice, while learning what leading data scientists and practitioners 
are currently working on. This programme has offered grant winners the 
opportunity to engage directly with and support the work of RDA Working and 
Interest Groups, to learn and contribute, and become a part of the RDA global 
data sharing community.


Application period for both Calls closes at  5th February 2019, 17:00 CET. To 
find out more and apply visit

[OSGeo-Discuss] The 4th gvSIG Festival (the online GIS conference) is coming

[Mario Carrera]

Hi all,

for the fourth year running we launch the gvSIG Festival, the online 
conference in which anyone in the world with an Internet connection can 
attend or participate as a speaker. The event will be held in March 27th 
and 28th 2019.


This year we want to make a special appeal to the group of women who are 
part of the gvSIG Community. We would like that a large percentage of 
the presentations of this 4th Festival are given by you, so we encourage 
you to present your proposals.


In the gvSIG project we have always wanted to work and contribute our 
bit in the fight against gender discrimination. In internal debates we 
have always taken into account that within a movement such as open 
source software, and the values associated to it, the obvious absence of 
women should be worrying. And maybe it’s the biggest problem. That 
should be worrying and it is not.


The sector of open source geomatics, and gvSIG, do not escape these 
dynamics either. Even significant progress, there’s an obvious absence 
of women in our collective. And the worst thing, we not only find that 
there are only a few initiatives that allow to create spaces to favour 
their integration, but it seems that it is not necessary.


And even if it’s only a little that we can contribute, we would like to 
start working on this small step to help to reverse this situation.


gvSIG festivals are open to any presentation related to the project, 
from anywhere in the world and in any language. From now on, we start 
the path to the next ‘4th gvSIG Festival’.


The information about the proposals submission can be found on the event 
website: http://www.gvsig.com/festival


We look forward to your participation!
