<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div>Through the mail from Kate we got informed that OSGeo has started a new committee to build a closer relationship with the UN to encourage use of open-source geospatial software. Then I thought, I should also share that in Bangladesh there is a OSGeo community group has been formed in last 17 October, 2015 and the first meeting was held at World Bank office Dhaka. </div><div><br></div><div>16 participants representing Geospatial, IT and programming professionals discussed about potentialities, road map of OSGeo in Bangladesh and a demonestration of open data handling by Django using python. The 3 hours meeting ended with the decision to enrich the participants in different geospatial technologies and geospatial languages in a collaborative manner among themselves followed by launching new projects in near future. Opensource Geospatial specialist<b> Ariel Nunez, from GFDRR-World Bank</b>, Washington DC presented the potentiality of OSGeo to the interested participants with openstreetmap data extraction and management examples. </div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div><br></div><div>Ahasan</div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font style="font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.6364px"><font color="#76a5af">.....................................................................................</font></span><br style="color:rgb(51,204,0)"><span style="font-size:13.6364px;color:rgb(64,127,0)"><span style="font-weight:bold">Ahasanul Hoque</span></span><br style="color:rgb(51,204,0)"></font><font style="font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><b><b><span><b><b><span><span><font size="1" color="#93c47d">GIS & Env.
