[Ica-osgeo-labs] Newsletter - March 2016

Mon Mar 7 04:07:25 PST 2016

Hi Maria,

Yes, it will be great to have a special issue. In fact, we can have an issue with articles from UN only and cover as many topics as they would like to. I mean, it is not necessary to cover only the topic of the workshop you are into. It will be very interesting to promote their ideas on the educational sector of UN.

Please, have a discussion with them and we will proceed accordingly.

Wishes

Nikos

Thanks! I'll present the newsletter on Wednesday during my presentation at UN. I want also to propose them a special session of the newsletter dedicated to UN with the updates of UN geospatial unit activities. 

Do you agree?

In case, I can help on that.

Cheers.
