[Discuss] [FOSS4G-Asia 2023]Travel Grants Program and Sponsoring Opportunity
by ì ìí¬(Sanghee Shin) 28 Jul '23

28 Jul '23

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.

[Foss4ga.discuss] Abstract selection
by Reshma Shrestha 27 Jun '21

27 Jun '21

Dear Venka and Natraj and all I hereby attached the draft guideline for selecting the abstract of the paper. We can make the same for the workshop proposal. The conference chair is uploaded to the website. The committee members need to upload. Since the abstract is not been able to download directly, it is being downloaded manually by Kushal and Basanta Sir. I think we can assign a reviewer and also my suggestions that we can accommodate all the abstracts in three categories academic track/non-academic (practice-based) and Poster. Regards Reshma

Dear Conference Committee Members of FOSS4G Asia, On behalf of OSGeo Korean Chapter, Iâm very pleased to submit this LOI for hosting FOSS4G Asia 2020 in Seoul. Date: 19~21st August 2020 Venue: COEX, Seoul [1] Main Organizer: OSGeo Korean Chapter, Smart Geo Expo Organizing Committee Weâd like to host FOSS4G Asia 2020 in conjunction with Smart Geo Expo 2020[2], one of the largest Geospatial Trade Fair and Conference in Asia. By doing this we can reduce cost and increase opportunities for FOSS4G Asia attendees. At first FOSS4G Asia attendees could experience many programs of Smart Geo Expo 2020 at free and could learn various aspects of geospatial businesses other than open source. Second, we could promote our open source GIS itself to numerous delegates of Smart Geo Expo 2020. OSGeo Korean Chapter and Smart Geo Expo Organizing Committee have already exchanged this co-hosting idea and both side believe hosting FOSS4G Asia 2020 in Seoul could give very unique experiences to all the attendees of FOSS4G Asia and Smart Geo Expo 2020.

Dear all, I am amazed by the support we receive from all parts of the world in this dark days of sadness, fear and pain and on behalf of all the Sri Lankan community, I wish to say thank you everybody for standing with us and share our sorrow. Each thought, each word, each message means a lot to us to walk through this darkness. With my wounded heart I wish to add this as well-There is no tragedy than shattered humanity. There is no value of anything when we, human race failed to accept each other despite all differences. I wish no evil like what we experience now would ever happen in any place on the mother earth!! Kind regards -- Nimalika Fernando President- OSGeo Sri Lanka
