From: Perry Nacionales 
To: OSGeo CRO 

Dear CRO,

Name: Alvin Natividad
Country: Philippines
Contact E-Mail: alvi...@gmail.com

I would like to nominate Alvin Natividad for OSGeo charter membership.

Alvin is a civil engineer and an educator in Palawan, Philippines who
actively uses and promotes the use of OSGeo software and other open source
tools. One of the projects he's currently involved in with the provincial
government of the Palawan is Tax mapping. He's using QGIS (and LibreCAD),
having successfully dissuade the government from using the more expensive
commercial alternatives. He is also currently working on profile surveys
for Puerto Princesa City water district (Puerto Princesa is the capital of
Palawan), and having his team work on similar surveys in other cities. In
addition, he teaches GIS for Civil and Geodetic engineering students in two
of the biggest universities in Palawan. He does all these using QGIS/Grass.
Avin plans to conduct more training using QGIS/Grass and LibreCAD, and to
create QGIS extensions using C++ and python.

I believe Alvin would be a great addition to the OSGeo charter membership
as he would work tirelessly to get open source GIS and software set root
and grow in an otherwise remote part of this world.

Thanks,
Perry Nacionales

Dear CRO,

I would like to nominate Dr. Go Yonezawa for the Charter Member 2015

Dr. Yonezawa is an associate professor at Graduate School for Creative 
Cities, Osaka City University. Recently, he has being researched on 
spatio-temporal changes in urban cities in Vietnam utilizing 
FOSS4G[1], and he has taught various FOSS4G tools in his lectures and 
educated many master and doctoral students with GIS related topics. He 
especially has many contributions to Vietnam and other asian countries 
by organizing GIS related international symposium through his 
projects[2].  I strongly believe that he would contribute to promote 
OSGeo by educating students or public people with OSGeo products or 
related research projects.

Oh by the way, by "local chapters" this doesn't have to be an official 
chapter; if you're forming, or even thinking of forming a chapter and 
want to discuss it at Seoul, definitely add your name to the list, we'd 
love to hear from you! :)

Hi everyone,

The exact time and location of this year's OSGeo AGM in Seoul is now
known: 17 September @ 17:10  in GrandBallroom B

It would be great to have volunteers from local chapters, committees, to

activities in Asia).  Please sign up here:

[OSGeo-Discuss] Only 2 days left until FOSS4G Seoul online registration closing

2015-08-31 Thread Sanghee Shin
Dear All, 

I’d like to give you gentle reminder that FOSS4G Seoul on-line registration 
will be closed on 23:59 2nd September(Samoa Standard Time). So please make 
hurry! You can register here: http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/

Any registrations received after this deadline will be considered as On-site 
Registration. The On-Site registration fee will be the same as of On-line's. 
However there will be possibility that On-Site registrants can't collect 
conference kit(program book, t-shirt, 32GB OSGeo Live USB, Seoul MICE card and 
etc), because FOSS4G Seoul team will order conference kits based on On-line

FYI, FOSS4G Seoul team will open on-site registration desk on 15th September. 

Cheers and see you in Seoul.
