[Geo4All] Pacific GIS/RS Conference 2017

[Jeff McKenna]

Sorry for that wrong url, it was a copy/paste gone wrong.  Please ignore 
that url that I suggested.   (in fact though, Fiji domains are .com.fi 
which would be a new domain:  foss4g.com.fi )  I was just using that as 
an example.

But yes maybe pacificislands.foss4g.org would be cool.  Will suggest 
this to the local chapter list.
