Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [SAC] OSGeo SAC Meeting highlights
Yes, we should be able to start the transfer soon. I want to make sure we have the current DNS settings before starting, and I'm waiting to hear from QGIS PSC that they will take QGIS.us So should happen this week, though might want until FedGeoDay is over to make sure nothing is disrupted this week.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Geospatial Science
The United Nations initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) aims at playing a leading role in setting the agenda for the development of global geospatial information and to promote its use to address key global challenges. It provides a forum to liaise and coordinate among Member States, and between Member States and international organizations. Details at https://ggim.un.org The draft of Third Edition of Future Trends in geospatial information management: the five to ten year vision is now available for global consultation and review by the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management . Details at https://ggim.un.org/documents/DRAFT_Future_Trends_report_3rd_edition.pdf The section on Open Science (Section 6.3 ; page 50-51) might be of interest. I wish to thank all colleagues who contribute to open education and open science for bridging the geospatial digital divide.[1],[2],[3] I am grateful to everyone working to make geoeducation and digital economy opportunities available for everyone.
