Greetings Jeff,

Tonnes of thanks for your kind support and yes, a FOSS4G event will be a
great booster to our local community.

Cheers,

Hi Ed,

I think creating a FOSS4G-Pacfic Islands event is a wonderful idea. Indeed
the Pacific Islands chapter of OSGeo has been so active and with a lot of
history back to 2012.  Please add me to these discussions, I would like to
help create this first FOSS4G event with your vibrant local community.  (I
am also a member of your chapter mailing list now) Can I suggest that a
first step be to purchase a domain name for the event?  Something like:

thanks,
