Hi,
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.

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* Ariel Nunez, from GFDRR-World Bank*,
Washington DC presented the potentiality of OSGeo to the interested
participants with openstreetmap data extraction and management examples.

Best regards

Ahasan
