[OSGeo-Discuss] Requesting all UK universities to support the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation

2023-04-29 Thread Suchith Anand via Discuss

Dear colleagues,


I would like to bring to your kind attention the excellent work done by the 
Cowrie Scholarship Foundation and request your kind support. The Cowrie 
Scholarship Foundation wants to fund 100 disadvantaged Black British students 
through UK universities in the next decade. Details at  
https://www.cowriescholarshipfoundation.org/


If your university is already a partner for Cowrie Scholarship Foundation , 
thank you for your support and please keep providing more scholarships every 
year. If your university is not a partner yet for Cowrie Scholarship 
Foundation, may I humbly request your university to join and start providing 
scholarships. Please forward my mail to your University Management colleagues 
and request that they provide scholarships.


I would like to connect you to Dr Melrose Stewart MBE who is Ambassador Cowrie 
Scholarship Foundation. Mel will be happy to provide any information needed. 
Please contact directly at

 i...@cowriescholarshipfoundation.org; mel.fras...@gmail.com  Thanks.



Best wishes


Suchith

Hello Codrina,

sounds like a very good idea to me.

Dear OSGeo community,

The European Commission through the Joint Research Center, the EU
Satellite Center and the European Space Agency organize the Big Data
from Space 2023 - BiDS 2023 between 6-9 November, in Vienna, Austria
(https://www.bigdatafromspace2023.org/).

In the context of the increasing very good interactions between OSGeo
and both the EC and ESA, we've approached one of the organizers to
inquire whether it could be an opportunity to have an OSGeo code
sprint during the event. We've received a very positive response from
their side, proposing multiple ways in which they could support the
initiative, such as having an OSGeo dedicated room at the venue for us
to organize ourselves or proposing a Satellite Event
(https://www.bigdatafromspace2023.org/satellite-events). The
discussions are still in a very early phase and to go further we'd
like to see if there is interest from the community for a Code Sprint
in November.


Greetings from Bucharest,
Codrina
on behalf of the OSGeo Board.
