Also it will be great if we can add "Training & Capacity Building using Open Source GIS and open data" esp. for developing countries in the OSGeo letter mentioning the "Geo for All' initiative and our aim to work with UN organisations and staff around the

It will also building upon our previous collaborations with the UN for this.<br>

Hi Jeff,<br>
<br>
This is excellent development aimed for the long term vision. Thanks to you, Sanghee and everyone who have contributed for this excellent initiative. This is really strategic for OSGeo and great idea to exchange official letters, to formalize our relationship
with the UN.<br>
<br>
It has been really worth the efforts to get the UN dedicated session organised at Seoul FOSS4G (and hopefully for all future main FOSS4Gs)<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Suchith<br>

<br>
Hi Suchith, Maria, all,<br>
<br>
I have been speaking directly with Kyoung-Soo Eom since Seoul, the chief<br>
of the UN Geospatial Information Section. As you know the Board met<br>
with the UN GIS team in Seoul, and there was some great discussions.<br>
Because of the long process involved in an MoU at the UN, it was<br>
suggested by Mr. Eom that we bypass that long process and instead<br>
exchange official letters, which I believe is a great idea, to formalize<br>
our relationship. Mr. Eom has also invited OSGeo to be part of a<br>
working group on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters, as a<br>
first step. Of course I'll be bringing up to speed all of the OSGeo<br>
board on this, by discussing these possible steps at our first meeting<br>
next week on 15 October. But I believe this is wonderful momentum with<br>
the UN and OSGeo. I must give credit to Sanghee to bring the two teams<br>
to the same table, during the chaos of running his FOSS4G Seoul - very<br>
forward thinking of him.<br>
<br>
Maria: I am also part of the "UN products" team.<br>
<br>
Talk soon,<br>
<br>
