[OSGeo-Discuss] Education key for tackling Global Warming

2018-12-03 Thread Suchith Anand 

Dear colleagues,


I understand that some of our colleagues are now at COP24 in Katowice, Poland 
and  I would like to send our greetings to everyone at COP24.


One of our Open Source GIS labs established at the UNEP/GRID-Warsaw Centre in 
Poland has been doing pioneering work on Environmental Management , Active 
Education over many years that I would like to share their work and invite 
ideas for future collaborations.


https://www.gridw.pl/en/opensourcegeolab


I had the opportunity to visit them at their offices in Warsaw some years back 
and was very impressed with the work they are doing. One of the work that they 
showed that greatly inspired me was the GIS at School  
http://www.edugis.pl/en/images/stories/guide/gis-at-school.pdf


There are lot of Lesson scenarios they made available at 
http://edugis.pl/en/for-teachers/guide


This is a great resource for teachers and students to get more ideas . By using 
GIS in school education makes it easier for students to understand processes 
occurring in the natural environment. It then leads to seeking, determining and 
analyzing relationships between different elements of the natural environment 
and between the natural environment and societal and economic phenomena and 
processes. This understanding and knowledge will help these students and future 
decision makers to contribute to sustainiable development without harming the 
natural environment and mitigating climate change effects.


I am grateful to everyone who works for Open education ideas globally. Wherever 
you are , you are the voice of GeoForAll.


Best wishes,


Suchith

Dear all,

Thanks to Tom Kralidis, I just realize that a mistake was introduced 
into the bellow message. Voting deadline is not 4th of December but 3rd 
of December, how it was reflected in all the vote messages sent to our 
charter member community. Please accept my most sincere apologies for 
this mistake. Also, please let us know if this mistake lead to 
significant problems in your voting schedule.


Thanks,
Vasile

Dear charter members,

It's time to vote for our new members of the board of directors. Like in 
the previous years, an electronic voting system was setup. In minutes 
from now, emails with personal voting links will be sent to all our 
charter members. If you don't receive your voting link in the next 
couple of hours please let me know at c...@osgeo.org. Before doing that 
please also check your "Spam" folder. Sending hundreds of messages at 
once is not easy and it can be interpreted as spam by some of the 
filtering systems. Also, sometimes the e-mail addresses change but the 
charter member contact database is not up to date. We will try to 
contact all the members with bounced invitations via alternative 
email/twitter/linkedin/etc to update the email account and to make sure 
that are able to vote. Also, be aware that due to some technical 
problems on OSGeo infrastructure, the invitation to vote was delayed for 
24 hours. This is why the vote period was extended with 24 hours, until 
4th of December 2018.


Thank you for supporting OSGeo!
