Hi Sergio and Suchith,

Tonnes of thanks for sharing, I have been thinking along the same
avenue in view of one day having a FOSS4G for the Pacific Islands
Region.

It is still work in progress and we persevere to bring more of my
fellow Pacific Islanders to join us in "Geo for All".

Likewise, on the same token my intention is to do a presentation on
GeoForAll during the Pacific Islands GIS & RS User Conference - 28th
to 1st December 2016, and would love to handout OSGeoLive DVDs to
participants during the event.

Am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Edwin

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Invitation to participate in the OSGeo membership consultations

[Edwin Liava'a]

 subject to the
 equivalent of a 'Committers' list where people have been voted in
 through
 some meritocracy process.

 - However, I can only choose one or the other!


 I haven't read the remaining questions at this stage, given the flawed
 questions at the beginning.



 I apologise if you had sent this out for review earlier. I have not
 been
 following this debate closely as this type of membership noise pops
 up on a
 regular basis.

 However, when this proceeds to a vote of the OSGeo Charter membership,
 I
 need to register a comment.


 For consideration.

*Open Source Geospatial Research and Education Lab established at the 
Czech Technical University in Prague*


We are pleased to announce the establishment of Open Source Geospatial 
Research and Education (OSGeoREL) Laboratory in the Czech Republic at 
the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in 
Prague. The laboratory is one of the members of a worldwide network 
developed under the auspices of the ICA-OSGeo Memorandum of 
Understanding (MoU).


In 2011, the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a 
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Open Source Geospatial 
Foundation (OSGeo) with a view to develop global collaboration 
opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in 
the field of open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to 
provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source 
Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world to 
support the development of open source geospatial software 
technologies, training and expertise.


OSGeoREL at the CTU in Prague is led by Martin Landa, Department of 
Mapping and Cartography. The laboratory is devoted to education in 
geoinformatics using FOSS4G, and to research in open source software 
development for geospatial applications. Martin Landa is an OSGeo 
charter member since 2011 and a member of the GRASS Development Team 
since 2006. He is actively involved in the GRASS project as the lead 
architect of graphical user interface (GUI) development and PostGIS 
integration in GRASS vector architecture.


Geoinformatics at the CTU in Prague: Prof. Ales( C(epek has 
established a study program in geoinformatics since 2005 (originally 
with Prof. Leos( Mervart), he is the author of project GNU Gama and of 
a minor project GNU Sqltutor (both hosted at GNU servers) and the 
editor in chief of Geoinformatics FCE CTU journal.

 Please visit

 After several month of development relevant content of

 We hope you enjoy the modernized site. The web team

 Note that the old Website is preserved for a while at the

 Don't be afraid to just start with headings on your chapter wiki page:
 but make sure to include the Local Chapters category at the bottom of
 your page, so the page can be properly found/indexed (for example: see
 the Atlantic Canada Chapter page, which is really at the same stage as
 your chapter http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Atlantic_Canada_Chapter)
