I have made that change to the domain, it may take a day to propagate, but you'll soon be in action :)<br>
<br>
Also, be sure to kindly talk directly with John Bryant from the FOSS4G-sotm-Oceania team about these plans, we don't want clashes or removing anyone's spotlight :)<br>

Congratulations on your CEO position.<br>
<br>
Wow this is wonderful news about the green light for FOSS4G-Pacific<br>
Islands! I think you should start working on a conference logo<br>
(remember to include the FOSS4G ribbon of course, as the examples at<br>
<a href="http://foss4g.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://foss4g.org</a>); maybe this could be a local student contest, to<br>
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<br>
domain to (<a href="http://islands.foss4g.org" rel="noreferrer 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<br>
tied up with that.<br>
<br>
On the same token, I am also involved in setting up an ICT<br>
TaskForce which include a Geospatial, GIS and Remote Sensing and<br>
FOSS working groups.<br>
<br>
We completed logistics yesterday and now we have the green light<br>
for keep the moment of FOSS4G-Pacific Islands moving forward<br>
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>

Hi Nomeneta,<br>
<br>
I believe the momentum now is for the upcoming<br>
FOSS4G-Sotm-Oceania<br>
event, which will be held in Melbourne Australia in November<br>
(<a href="https://foss4g-oceania.org/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://foss4g-oceania.org/</a>).<br>
<br>
But speaking openly here, I wonder if having a venue in the<br>
Pacific<br>
Islands for next year's location of FOSS4G-Sotm-Oceania is<br>
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<br>
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<br>
momentum<br>
that we were creating for the first FOSS4G-Pacific Islands.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
