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="">There is more information available in this<br class="">document: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYf-nTKN1NI5kAOlZHuLX1hQ750W_b_1/edit#" class="">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYf-nTKN1NI5kAOlZHuLX1hQ750W_b_1/edit#</a><br class=""><<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYf-nTKN1NI5kAOlZHuLX1hQ750W_b_1/edit#" class="">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYf-nTKN1NI5kAOlZHuLX1hQ750W_b_1/edit#</a>><br class="">(also attached as a PDF for posterity).<br class=""><br class="">I look forward to hearing from you.<br class=""><br class="">Kind regards,<br class=""><br class="">-- <br class="">Alex Leith<br class="">Treasurer, OSGeo Oceania<br class="">m: +61 419 189 050<br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Conference_dev mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:Conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org" class="">Conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org</a><br class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote>_______________________________________________<br class="">Conference_dev mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:Conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org" class="">Conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org</a><br class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote>_______________________________________________<br class="">Conference_dev mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:Conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org" class="">Conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org</a><br class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
