<br>
Congratulations on your CEO position.<br>
<br>
Wow this is wonderful news about the green light for FOSS4G-Pacific Islands! I think you should start working on a conference logo (remember to include the FOSS4G ribbon of course, as the examples at <a href="http://foss4g.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://foss4g.org</a>); maybe this could be a local student contest, to design the logo and the winner gets a free registration).<br>
<br>
Also, please let me know when you have an IP address to point the domain to (<a href="http://islands.foss4g.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://islands.foss4g.org</a>).<br>

Greetings Jeff and Nome,<br>
<br>
My sincere apology for the long pause.<br>
<br>
I took up a CEO position here in Tonga in February and have been tied up with that.<br>
<br>
On the same token, I am also involved in setting up an ICT TaskForce which include a Geospatial, GIS and Remote Sensing and FOSS working groups.<br>
<br>
We completed logistics yesterday and now we have the green light for keep the moment of FOSS4G-Pacific Islands moving forward hoping to host it Fiji or here in Tonga.<br>
<br>
Do you have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
A blessed day to you both.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Edwin<br>

Hi Nomeneta,<br>
<br>
I believe the momentum now is for the upcoming FOSS4G-Sotm-Oceania<br>
event, which will be held in Melbourne Australia in November<br>
(<a href="https://foss4g-oceania.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://foss4g-oceania.org/</a>).<br>
<br>
But speaking openly here, I wonder if having a venue in the Pacific<br>
Islands for next year's location of FOSS4G-Sotm-Oceania is possible.<br>
This would need to be discussed with the current organizers of<br>
FOSS4G-Sotm-Oceania of course. I bet they would be open to this idea!<br>
<br>
That is one idea that I had.<br>
<br>
But at the same time, I don't want to squash the initial momentum<br>
that we were creating for the first FOSS4G-Pacific Islands.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>

Hi Guys/Gals,<br>
<br>
Just wondering if there any movement on this and if the FOSSGIS<br>
conference is going ahead this year?<br>
