> Dear All
> 
> I want to update you about the UN OpenGIS Initiative.
> 
> OSGeo (Maxi Cannata) launched a contest for UN OpenGIS Initiative. You can see the contest and the first logos here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/UN_OpenGIS_logo_contest;
> 
> Meanwhile we are proceeding with the Capacity Building.
> 
> 19th September 2016 the first virtual class  starts. The first course is "QGIS GeoAcademy" and the tutors are Rick Smith, Tom Mueller and Youngok  Kang (I thank you in advance!). After this experiment we will go ahead with other tutors with PostGIS, geoserver, OpenLayers and  Geonode. UN staff and tutors will use the Beep Platform provided by Politecnico di Milano for sharing material and information. The course is self-made but the tutors are available for answering questions and solving doubts.
> 
> In Autumn, thanks to Rafael Moreno, Ki-Joune Li (head of the project together with Kyoung-Soo Eom) and I will organize a webinar for  presenting the state of the initiative.
> 
> The activity is intense. In November we will have the Second UN OpenGIS Workshop where I will show how much GeoForAll has been contributing (in Capacity Building) to this initiative.

> Best regards to everybody!
