<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Thanks Maxi,<div class="">Unfortunately I’m not able to participate to that meeting (and in fact I was not invited and am not aware if the meeting is open to others either). But from my perspective it would be great if the meeting is the start of something beyond a technical or academic exercise. Meaning that UN Peace Keeping Operations will work together with the projects of interest and the related service providers (read: companies) that deal with providing commercial services to clients. I know there is a lot of room for academic work, volunteer work etcetera in this context. And I’m sure that Maria and you will focus on those aspects, so I can safely ignore that in this email and solely focus on the business side of things :-)</div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Jeroen</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 24 feb. 2016, at 15:02, Massimiliano Cannata <<a href="mailto:massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch" class="">massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Dear All,<div class="">i'm writing you to inform that the next 7-11 March 2016 Maria Brovelli and Myself were invited to participate in the GeoSHAPE & OpenGDS Workshop for UN OpenGIS initiative which aims at developing the use of Free and Open Source GIS Software in support of UN Peace Operations.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">While Maria will present Geo4All initiative I will present OSGeo and its committees, projects and actions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyone willing to contribute with comments, suggestions, notes or inputs (slides, link, etc..) is more then welcome.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best,</div><div class="">Maxi</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class=""><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><b style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px" class="">Massimiliano Cannata</b><br class=""><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color:gray;font-size:9pt" class="">Professore SUPSI in ingegneria Geomatica</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color:gray;font-size:9pt" class="">Responsabile settore Geomatica</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color:gray;font-size:9pt" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="color:gray;font-size:9pt" class="">Istituto scienze della Terra</span></div><p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" class=""></p><div style="margin: 0px;" class=""><span lang="IT" style="font-size:9pt;color:gray" class="">Dipartimento ambiente costruzione e design</span></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; margin: 0px;" class=""><span lang="IT" style="font-size:12px" class=""><font color="#808080" face="arial, sans-serif" class="">Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana</font></span></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; margin: 0px;" class=""><span style="color:gray;font-size:9pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif" class="">Campus Trevano, </span><span style="color:gray;font-size:9pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif" class="">CH - 6952 Canobbio</span></div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="IT" style="font-size:9pt;color:gray" class="">Tel. +41 (0)58 666 62 14<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9pt;color:gray" class="">Fax +41 (0)58 666 62 09<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9pt" class=""><a href="mailto:massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch" target="_blank" class="">massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch</a></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><u class=""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9pt;color:blue" class=""><span style="color:blue" class=""><a href="http://www.supsi.ch/ist" target="_blank" class="">www.supsi.ch/ist</a></span></span></u></div></div></div>
