[Ica-osgeo-labs] GeoForAll presentation at UN Technical Workshop

[Suchith Anand]

Good point Sergio. We will definitely need to follow this up. I am sure Maria, Greg and others involved will follow up this and link this with the Sustainable Development Goals synergies. Having UN special session in our newsletter will be good to keep building ideas and actions step by step.

Congratulations and thank you very much! Regarding this intention to increase collaboration between UN and Geoforall it is important to find the way that this desire does not fade away (I mean from UN's side). I remember trying to start some work together with Unesco's regional bureau some time ago -regarding gvSIG Batoví- and despite their big interest in discussing ideas after a time this interest faded mostly because of bureaucracy. So we need strong representatives for Geoforall in order to reach the right spokeperson. I think the network now is strong enough to catch the attention of the decision-makers and maybe it is now easier to strengthen relationships. Just an opinion.
