<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Dear Bruce</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">nobody invited me. I'm part of the UN GIIM Academic Network and this is the reason why I was asked if I wanted to present something. And I decided to have a presentation where to show also the activities of the UN Committee
(and GeoForAll), as we are doing a lot of work (under the name of OSGeo). It is a way of showing what we are doing. We are a partner of the UN Open GIS Initiative, we are not paid for being a partner. In this specific case, I'm paying from my pocket for showing
what we are doing as OSGeo. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Are you still involved in some UN project? Which project? Can you share your activities with the other people on the list? It could be of interest of everybody to know which activities are going on under the umbrella
of OSGeo.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Many thanks!</p>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Dear All</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">The First UN World Geospatial Information Congress will start in a few hours. I was involved in the Academic Track Session and, together with Ivana Ivanova, we are presenting a contribution about "Open Science and Education"
where there is also the description of our activities related to UN Open GIS (training and UN Challenge). Moreover, GeoForAll is also presented. Our presentation is on Wednesday (Ivana will present) and we are finishing it (we need to submit it by tomorrow).
We will share with you after the submission.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I have a question related to the budget. We are more or less at the end of the year and there are no more meetings of the UN Open GIS. This year I attended the two that were organized (Uganda, US), using support from
OSGeo only for the former. I'm kindly asking if there is somebody who is against the fact that OSGeo supports my travel here at the UN World Geospatial Information Congress (flight and VISA, no accommodation and meal), provided that we saved some money and
this money is available in the UN Committee budget of this year. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Please reply if you have comments or doubts by the end of this week. </p>
