The conference series has been running in Fiji for about 20 years and is the largest GIS and RS Conference in the Pacific, with content covering applications of FOSS and open data. This year will be enriched with additional formal integration into the FOSS4G community, combining the annual FOSS4G and SoTM Oceania event with the PGRSC conference. Thus, a new conference name will be used to represent this new venture: "The Pacific Geospatial Conference''. The Pacific Geospatial Conference will be held from 28th November to 2nd December at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji and the theme will be ?Digital Platforms, GIS and Remote Sensing to anticipate and manage impacts of Global Warming.? Following the success of our Travel Grant Program (TGP) in 2018 and 2019, OSGeo Oceania is offering a TGP for the 2022 Pacific Geospatial Conference, aimed at enabling attendance for people who are disadvantaged by economic circumstances and/or geography. Oceania is a vast region, with a highly distributed population, a large proportion of which is in small, lesser-developed countries. Travelling to Fiji could be difficult and expensive, even for local communities in the most remote areas of the country, and visas are also costly. There is a strong need in this region for this type of program, and there are clear economic and social benefits of spreading open geospatial knowledge to those who stand to gain the most. The TGP?s goal is increasing the diversity, accessibility, and reach of the conference. We want to support worthy recipients who are interested in gaining in-depth insight into development and application of open-source geospatial software and are committed to making an impact in their home country, given the opportunity provided. To support this program, we are requesting support from the OSGeo Travel Grant Fund in the amount of USD$3,500. We are pleased to confirm we are prepared to more than match OSGeo's contribution with our own funds. OSGeo Oceania has already approved a cash contribution of AUD$5000 (approximately USD$3500) and we also hope that OSGeo's contribution will act as a 'seed' for other funders, such as NGOs and government grants. There is more information available in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DYf-nTKN1NI5kAOlZHuLX1hQ750W_b_1/edit# (also attached as a PDF for posterity). I look forward to hearing from you.

I also see there is an ongoing motion on the conference committee mailing list, so once this motion is approved, you do not need approval from the Board.
