Subject: [Board] Registration for STDM Code Sprint 2017 opened

Dear All,

the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) is a concept to model a continuum
of people-to-land relationships in informal environments. Legacy
cadastre and land registry software from the developed world has proven
to lack flexibility and literally does not meet the bill, financially.

The Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) has closed this gap by developing
fit-for-purpose STDM software tools under an Open Source license based
on well known core technology including QGIS, PostGIS, GDAL/OGR and
Sahana Eden. To further extend the functionality of these tools and also
to improve the know-how in the region, GLTN organizes a code sprint.

The code sprint is free of cost to attend thanks to the kind sponsorship
of GLTN and OSGeo. A formal application is required including a CV and a
list of practical  experience in the field. Find more details here:

http://stdm.gltn.net/docs/STDM_Code_Sprint_2017.pdf

There are limited travel grants available for applicants who fit the
profile and preferably come from Africa, Asia, and South America.
Application closes on March 31st. Register here:

Please apply soon, seats are limited. This is hot. With FOSS4G 2018
coming up in Africa we really, really want to support and grow the
African OSGeo Local Chapter!

Please feel free to forward to your domain, we are trying to avoid lots
of cross postings.

Considered keywords include: land innformation, land administration,
cadastre, social tenure, land rights, open source GIS, QGIS, PostGIS, LADM.


Thank you and best regards,

Arnulf Christl
(OSGeo GLTN Liaison Officer, Organizer)
