Hi Eterna
This list is for communication about the open source geospatial community
in Oceania. Some of us enjoy unexplored terrain, but that's not the focus.
You can unsubscribe at the bottom of this page:
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania
...and we'll see if we can add a more convenient unsubscribe link in future.
Regards,
Adam
