On 15th June 2018, I have emailed UN GGIM on the need to work together with the OSGeo and GeoForAll community for enabling geoeducation and entrepreneurship opportunities for all (esp. for the economically poor worldwide). I haven’t got any response so far.
It is very important the UN GGIM projects make use of free and open source tools, so there is no proprietary vendor lock in and developing countries and economically poor communities worldwide can also benefit from entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities in GIS. Digital economy opportunities should be open for all esp. for economically poor students and communities. Access to quality education and entrepreneurship opportunities is key for getting rid of extreme poverty and enable broadly shared prosperity for all. It's all about meaningful impact for everyone. Thanks. Best wishes, Suchith ________________________________ From: GeoForAll <geoforall-boun...@lists.osgeo.org> on behalf of Maria Antonia Brovelli <maria.brove...@polimi.it> Sent: 24 October 2018 21:07 To: Marguerite Madden; SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA; geofor...@lists.osgeo.org; discuss@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [Geo4All] Looking for thought-provoking discussions at UNWGIC?
