[Geo4All] [geoforall-ab] Welcoming University of the South Pacific to GeoForAll

Tue May 28 02:06:24 PDT 2019

Hi Nick,

Thank you for your email and great to hear all the excellent updates. You and colleagues at University of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji are already part of the GeoForAll family. So your GeoForAll lab details should have been added in our website. GeoForAll chairs  Helena Mitasova and Victoria Rautenbach  will be able to check and help you on this.

On your excellent idea of  Pacific Region Chapter , some of our colleagues in the GeoForAll list (cc in) will be able to provide more inputs and ideas.

All  - if any of you know about OSGeo current activities in Pacific Region, please help connect Nick to the right contacts there to help build more synergies. Thanks.

Helena, Victoria, Peter - could you please check and update on this. The only lab information currently in the website is University of Fiji  https://www.osgeo.org/geo-for-all-labs/school-science-technology-university-fiji/  . We need to add The University of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji  also in this list. Nick has already submitted the form. Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Dear Suchith,

Our geospatial programme at USP is progessing well and we now have both Bachelor and Master in Geospatial Science with a Postgraduate Diploma in line for 2020.

How do we progress our official incorporation into the GeoForAll Famliy.

Should we be thinking about Pacific Region Chapter to include Pacific Islands and New Zealand?

Regards

Nick

Subject: RE: Guidelines for digital inclusion

Dear Suchith,

We at the University of the South Pacific i Geospatial Science programme are interested in the

GeoForAll  lab concept.  We are based in Suva, Fiji but USP has 12 member countries across the Pacific in

Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Samoa.

We have been building our facilities and expertise lately and I believe we are now in a position to make a meaningful contribution to the GeoForAll Lab movement.

Some useful links to look at:

www.geosspatialscience.orgwww.geosspatialscience.org<http://www.geosspatialscience.org>   run by our students

www.usp.ac.fj/geowww.usp.ac.fj<http://www.usp.ac.fj/geo>

I think there are local people I can contact re: our possible membership but I wanted to touch base with you as a major player in this.  Your advice on how to proceed would be helpful.

regards

Nick
