[Foss4ga.discuss] Prayers and thoughts
by Jeff McKenna 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Thoughts and prayers go to friends and family members in Bangkok and throughout Thailand, sad to hear about the bombing. Scary to see images here, near Central World, such a popular spot (the area is very familiar to me!?!). Your friend, -jeff

Re: [Foss4ga.discuss] About FOSS4G Session at Nepal Geological Congress
by Venkatesh Raghavan 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Hi Rajan and All, Please plan a FOSS4G-Asia 2016 with special session for SAARC. Great to hear about training program at ECIL organized by IIITH. Regarding the NGC session, maybe 1) Introduction to FOSS4G technology and Geo4All initiative 2) FOSS4G-India Activity Report 3) FOSS4G-Sri Lanka Acticity Report 4) FOSS4G at AIT 5) Municipal GIS initiatives in India 6) ??? with 30 minutes for each presenter could be a good idea. We could also distribute the OSGeo-Live DVD [1] to participants. It would great if the special session at NGC helps to get FOSS4G activities in Nepal kickstarted. The mailing list created for FOSS4G-Asia is still usable and maybe some others have suggestions too. I forward this mail to the list too.
