[OSGeo-Discuss] Updates from Geo4All Malaysia

2016-03-01 Thread Suchith Anand

Dear All,

I would like to congratulate  Dr Tuong Thuy Vu and all colleagues in UNMC, 
Malaysia  who worked hard for organising a very successful   “GIS information 
workshop” focussed on open-source geospatial tools, data, and standards on 26th 
Feb 2016. This full day GIS Information workshop was free and open to all 
interested .

Professor Christine Ennew, CEO and Pro vice chancellor of University of 
Nottingham, Malaysia campus (UNMC), in her opening speech, highlighted the 
great opportunities that open-source technologies may bring to all 
organisations and emphasised the full support of University of Nottingham to 
promote open-source and open education.  On behalf of the organising team, Dr. 
Tuong-Thuy Vu introduced the development of open-source research and promotion 
activities across University of Nottingham campuses and the aims of the 
workshop.  Thuy Vu also announced NGI/GRACE partnership with the Global Open 
Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative http://www.godan.info/  
to help expand our AgriGIS research [1][2]. The Global Open Data for 
Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) initiative seeks to support global efforts to 
make agricultural and nutritionally relevant data available, accessible, and 
usable for unrestricted use worldwide. The initiative focuses on building 
high-level policy and public and private institutional support for open data. 
The initiative encourages collaboration and cooperation among existing 
agriculture and open data activities, without duplication, and brings together 
all stakeholders to solve long-standing global problem.

Thuy Vu provided an overview of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation's 
GeoForAll initiative  http://www.geoforall.org  and introduced the first 3 labs 
in Malaysia, followed by short presentations by the representatives of the 3 
labs in Malaysia including Prof. Alias Abdul Rahman (UTM), Prof. Ruslan Rainis 
(USM) and Dr. Tuong-Thuy Vu (UNMC). There was also hands on session where 
participants got opportunity to learn more .

Details and photos of the event at 
http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/geography/2016/03/01/gis-information-workshop/

This also builds synergies with the GIS Workshop for UK government 
organisations, SMEs and startups that was organised at the University of 
Nottingham [3]

The Open Source Geospatial Lab at UNMC, Malaysia was established by Dr Thuy Vu 
in 2011 and was the first dedicated Open Source Geospatial lab in South East 
Asia.   Thuy is the Asia chair of the Geo4All initiative of the Open Source 
Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and he is the driving force for expanding 
geoeducation opportunities for more students across Asia. Thuy Vu is the Asia 
chair of Geo4All . OSGeo UNMC's research, teaching and social service 
activities are at 
http://www.nottingham.edu.my/Geography/Research/GeospatialScience/OSGEO-lab.aspx

The Open Source Geospatial Lab at UNMC are also involved in delivering various 
training events with industry like the successful ENSEARCH “GIS for 
Environmental Management” training [4] . One of important activities of OSGEO 
Lab at UNMC is to promote open education“philosophy” and technologies to 
Malaysian communities. Through a set of hand-on exercises to solve real world 
environmental issues, participants were instructed to apply beyond and enable 
new cost-effective approaches in their works after the training. Details of 
ENSEARCH at http://ensearch.org  and the workshop at [4].

We thank all colleagues and participants for making this workshop a great 
success in Malaysia which helps us build more stronger research collaborations 
.We are looking forward to build more research collaborations in AgriGIS [5] 
with colleagues globally.

Best wishes,

Suchith
