Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo LinkedIn Page and PlanetOSGeo Twitter account was created
Reaching beyond LinkedIn (which is somewhat regional) participation in open source is a great way to build up documented experience. Especially for those new to the job market consider reaching out to the projects you contribute to and asking for a letter of recommendation. -- Jody Garnett On Wed, 14 Nov 2018 at 09:56, Fernando Quadro wrote: > Hi All, > > On behalf of the marketing committee, I would like to announce that the > official OSGeo LinkedIn page and PlanetOSGeo Twitter account was created. > > - https://www.linkedin.com/company/osgeo/ > - https://twitter.com/planetosgeo > > I invite everyone to follow the LinkedIn Page and Twitter account.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Hall of Fame
Ditto. GRASS is over 30 years old, MapServer, GDAL and PROJ are over 20 years old. An OSGeo Pantheon would be the right homage to all those that made FOSS4G what it is today, but are no longer among us.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Happy Geography Awareness Week
Dear colleagues, Happy Geography Awareness Week to everyone. I would like to share a great video compilation by Nicera Kimani that I came across. Nicera is a young woman from Kibera helping informal settlement in data collection and mapping. FOSS4G was her first time ever interacting with other colleagues in the geospatial community across the world. This video is what she made using her phone, and was produced by phone! I thank Nicera Kimani’s for her wonderful gift to the global community. Details at https://www.osgeo.org/resources/nicera-kimani-foss4g-2018-video/ The best gift to give is a gift of useful knowledge. During Geography Awareness Week events please share our resources with all to make geoeducation and digital economy opportunities accessible to all our brothers and sisters around the world and our future generations. https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/please-share-geoforall-teaching-research-resources-colleagues-students/ Best wishes, Suchith [1] https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/geography-awareness-week/ This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
