as part the UN locust intervention program [2][3], and WorldWind is in dialogue with UNOSAT for their interest in WorldWind. I consider these all of these activities to be under the OSGeo tent. And certainly of proven value as well as future value to the UN.

Unicef, Fao...). Maria, do you think it will be appropriate to talk about this in the workshop? (I mean, in the coffee-break)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

it is not necessary to cover only the topic of the workshop you are into. It will be very interesting to promote their ideas on the educational sector of UN.</span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

These events run by the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) might be of wider interest. Thanks to Mark Mulligan for sharing this info.
<br>
<br>
Also the <b>Geo-technology in the Field: GIS, GPS, and Remote sensing for fieldwork workshop</b> (Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 April 2016) which will cover Open source GIS, GPS Data and monitoring etc might be of interest.<br>
