<div> </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all, just a quick update...
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ewen and I just joined an exploratory chat with the Geospatial Council of Australia GIS and Digital Analytics Working Group. They're working on a webinar series and they suggested collaborating on a webinar with open source related content.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By coincidence, Ewen and I had been discussing the idea of an OSGeo Oceania webinar series, perhaps via the Communications Working Group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There was a suggestion of an MOU, we let them know that there's already a discussion happening between OO and GCA regarding a potential MOU, so they said they would follow that up. My thought is that it's probably not required yet - we need a U before
we have an MOU. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One question that came up was whether the webinar would be free of charge. It's a possibility but there may be a need for cost recovery, perhaps through sponsorship.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, it was a very preliminary discussion, there's nothing concrete on the table yet. More details to come. Potentially a great way for us to reach a wide audience that's very open-curious!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should it progress further, any ideas on potential topics? QGIS and OSM technical sessions came up, and there was a suggestion of an "open source" panel of some kind.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
<div>John</div>
