(While enthusiastic for the TGP and the good work of OSGeo Oceania<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">, I'm not sure that the conference committee is actually engaged and functioning enough
to actually approve this - hence the initial lack of responses. I'll assume that Till and Steven checked our budget. We very much need new champions on the Conference Committee.)</span></div>

<br class="">
For the first time The Pacific GIS and Remote Sensing Council (PGRSC),<br class="">
OSGeo Oceania and HOT OSM are collaborating to present the 2022 GIS<br class="">
users conference in Oceania. The conference series has been running in<br class="">
Fiji for about 20 years and is the largest GIS and RS Conference in the<br class="">
Pacific, with content covering applications of FOSS and open data. This<br class="">
year will be enriched with additional formal integration into the FOSS4G<br class="">
community, combining the annual FOSS4G and SoTM Oceania event with the<br class="">
PGRSC conference. Thus, a new conference name will be used to represent<br class="">
this new venture: "The Pacific Geospatial Conference''.<br class="">
<br class="">
The Pacific Geospatial Conference will be held from 28th November to 2nd<br class="">
December at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji and the<br class="">
theme will be “Digital Platforms, GIS and Remote Sensing to anticipate<br class="">
and manage impacts of Global Warming.”<br class="">
<br class="">
Following the success of our Travel Grant Program (TGP) in 2018 and<br class="">
2019, OSGeo Oceania is offering a TGP for the 2022 Pacific Geospatial<br class="">
Conference, aimed at enabling attendance for people who are<br class="">
disadvantaged by economic circumstances and/or geography. Oceania is a<br class="">
vast region, with a highly distributed population, a large proportion of<br class="">
which is in small, lesser-developed countries. Travelling to Fiji could<br class="">
be difficult and expensive, even for local communities in the most<br class="">
remote areas of the country, and visas are also costly.<br class="">
<br class="">
There is a strong need in this region for this type of program, and<br class="">
there are clear economic and social benefits of spreading open<br class="">
geospatial knowledge to those who stand to gain the most. The TGP’s goal<br class="">
is increasing the diversity, accessibility, and reach of the conference.<br class="">
We want to support worthy recipients who are interested in gaining<br class="">
in-depth insight into development and application of open-source<br class="">
geospatial software and are committed to making an impact in their home<br class="">
country, given the opportunity provided.<br class="">
<br class="">
To support this program, we are requesting support from the OSGeo Travel<br class="">
Grant Fund in the amount of USD$3,500.<br class="">
<br class="">
We are pleased to confirm we are prepared to more than match OSGeo's<br class="">
contribution with our own funds. OSGeo Oceania has already approved a<br class="">
cash contribution of AUD$5000 (approximately USD$3500) and we also hope<br class="">
that OSGeo's contribution will act as a 'seed' for other funders, such<br class="">
as NGOs and government grants.<br class="">
<br class="">

<br class="">
I look forward to hearing from you.<br class="">

Kind regards,<br class="">
