Dear All; *Requesting nominations for the David A. Hastings Award* The FOSS4G-Asia 2018 organizing committee is proud to announce the inaugural *David A. Hastings Award* for exceptional contributions to the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) community in Asia. Recipients may have helped spread FOSS4G in academia, promoted the use of FOSS4G in projects in Asia, or also helped translate front-end FOSS4G tools in local languages *"David was an early influence on FOSS4G, having written a GRASS GIS How to , as well as being heavily involved in the first FOSS4G event at Chula University in Bangkok Thailand in 2004, where he helped bring the future founders of the annual FOSS4G event Venkatesh Raghavan, Markus Neteler, and Jeff McKenna together; indeed they shared many laughs and stories on that special trip together. He also led an âInstallfestâ at that FOSS4G 2004 event, which set the tone for so many future events. David would later go on to study at the global level a measurement of human development and happiness, what he coined as the Human Security Index. Dr. David A.

Dear All, As you may be aware, the FOSS4G-Asia 2023(https://foss4g.asia/2023/) will take place in Seoul from 28th Nov. to 2dn Dec. 2023. On behalf of the Seoul team, I'd like to share 2 things about the conference here. 1. Travel Grants Program(TGP) Yes, Travel Grants are available! To make it a more diverse and inclusive event, Travel Grants will be provided to individuals from Asian countries, with a focus on assisting those who would not be able to attend otherwise. Please share this great news in and around your community so that more people could apply for the TGP. For details, see https://foss4g.asia/2023/travel-grant-program/ I highly recommend TGP applicants to submit proposals through https://foss4g.asia/2023/call-for-presentations/. FYI, Call for Presentaions will be closed on 11th August. 2. Sponsoring Opportunity We ask for your generous sponsorship for the TGP. All your sponsorship will be used exclusively for the TGP. This means the more you sponsor the event, the more people could have the opportunity to attend the FOSS4G-Asia 2023 Seoul conference. This yearâs FOSS4G-Asia is particularly special for participants as it will be held as part of Seoul GeoWeek. FOSS4G-Asia, UN-Open GIS(In planning), Seoul Geospatial Forum, Korea Spatial Information Societyâs Fall Meeting, and UN-HABITATâs UTC (Urban Thinkers Campus) will be held at the same venue as part of Seoul GeoWeek. This provides a unique opportunity for participants to connect and network with like-minded geospatial professionals from diverse backgrounds in one location. For details about sponsoring the event, please see https://foss4g.asia/2023/call-for-sponsors/ Seoul team is diligently preparing for the event and hopes to see many of you in Seoul this November. Kind regards, ê°ì¬í©ëë¤. ì ìí¬ --- Shin, Sanghee Gaia3D, Inc. - The GeoSpatial Company www.gaia3d.com<http://www.gaia3d.com/>

However, please note that accommodation expenses will not be covered, and participants will be responsible for arranging their own accommodations.
