<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I'm appending the text below. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Please comment as soon as possible but not later than tomorrow at midnight GMT because we want to issue it in such a way to close the delivery of the material before Dar Es Salaam.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Many thanks to Boundless to sponsor the Challenge 2!</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">And many thanks to all the people who contributed.</p>

OSGeo United Nations (UN) Committee invites proposals for developing open geospatial educational material for three challenges. The Committee promotes the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN. In the
last few years, the Committee has mainly worked on the UN Open GIS Initiative, a project </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(37, 37, 37); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">".</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(37, 37, 37); background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">..

bundle that meets the requirements of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission partners (partner nations, technology contributing countries, international organizations, academia, NGOs, private sector). The strategic approach shall
be developed with best and shared principles, standards and ownership, in a prioritized manner that addresses capability gaps and needs without duplicating efforts of other Member States or entities. The UN OpenGIS Initiative strategy shall collaboratively
and cooperatively develop, validate, assess, migrate, and implement sound technical capabilities with all the appropriate documentation and training that in the end provides a united effort to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of utilizing Open Source
GIS around the world.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">" (more details at

first two challenges (one sponsored by Boundless) are related to the UN Open GIS Initiative. The third challenge is more general and relates to the use of high resolution and high quality global datasets available for environmental, social and economical analysis
everywhere, especially in developing countries. The challenge is aimed at addressing the current lack of training material for using such data with open source software in support of UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
