The Digital Earth Pacific project will support the development of an operational Earth observation infrastructure that enables people to make improved decisions.

Digital Earth Pacific (DEP) is a transformative project aimed at developing an operational Earth observation infrastructure for the Pacific. With a focus on empowering Pacific communities, DEP strives to simplify access to Earth and Marine observation data and deliver new data products that cater to specific regional needs. This presentation provides an overview of the motivations, objectives, and methodologies of DEP, highlighting its user-centric approach and the potential impact on informed decision-making and sustainable development in the Pacific. By democratising access to data and building upon advancements in technology, DEP aims to enhance accessibility and streamline data retrieval processes. Through a co-design process involving stakeholders from various sectors, DEP ensures that the infrastructure and data products align with the specific requirements and challenges faced by the Pacific region. Ultimately, DEP seeks to empower Pacific communities to harness the power of Earth observation data, driving resilience and informed decision-making.

An open discussion about OSGeo Oceania, who we area, what we've done and where we're going.

OSGeo Oceania was founded in 2019 on the back of the success of our first conference in Melbourne. Since that time we’ve run two in-person conferences and two in-pandemic events, we’ve supported dozens of micro grants across the region and we continue to sustain a financially viable organisation that supports our open geospatial community here in Oceania. This talk will go over our history, define our purpose and what our goals are, discuss our present situation in terms of what’s working and what’s not and will outline some ideas for the future of OSGeo Oceania. It will aim to be a discussion, and an open forum for input, questions and comment.
