Hi Edwin,
Congratulations on your CEO position.
Wow this is wonderful news about the green light for FOSS4G-Pacific
Islands! I think you should start working on a conference logo
(remember to include the FOSS4G ribbon of course, as the examples at
http://foss4g.org); maybe this could be a local student contest, to
design the logo and the winner gets a free registration).
Also, please let me know when you have an IP address to point the domain
to (http://islands.foss4g.org).
