Phnom Penh Mapping Meetup #17 – Photos and Presentations

The PPMM #17 was a huge success. We had two every engaging presenters and 36 participants, 10 of which are students. The ODC Team would like to thank everyone who showed up, despite the pouring rain, and participated. We were able to accommodate one participant who had wished to view the presentation online, via Skype. This experience encourages us to live stream our future events. Many thanks to Mathieu for recommending streaming options.

Students, you have asked for the presentations on how to mentor student mappers. Request granted. With Bernd’s permission, we are delighted to share with you his presentation slides.

We have received e-mails asking for a copy of Dr. Tri’s presentation. If you have missed Tri’s presentation or should you wish to revisit the slides, you may download the .pdf version of the slides here.

Please do send us your follow-up questions, if you have any. Should you be interested in continuing your discussion with our presenters to collaborate on either mentoring or conducting a Hydrodynamic modeling workshop in the future, please let us know. We will be delighted to make an introduction for you and get the discussion started.

For July’s mapping meet-up, let’s revisit the wish list (suggested topics for the PPMM) and start brainstorming. As always, should you wish to help make the mapping meet-up better, please send us your suggestions.

Best,

The ODC Team

Phnom Penh Mapping Meetup #17 is Happening!

You’re invited to a very special edition of the Phnom Penh Mapping Meetup! Typically, the mapping meetup is scheduled for the last Tuesday of each month. However, this very special occasion calls for a slight change to the tradition.

Bernd and Paul will speak about their experience and share ideas pertaining to mentoring. If you wish to get involved in mentoring student mappers or have ideas to discuss, we want to see you next Monday. If you are a student or know of someone who might find this panel discussion intriguing, please help us spread the words. Last but not least, we are honored to have Dr. Tri, from Can Tho University in Vietnam, give a presentation on water resources changes in the Mekong Delta.

PPMM #17: “How to Mentor Student Mappers?” – Call for Presenters/Panelists

The Phnom Penh Mapping Meetup is only as good as its volunteer presenters and participants. If you would like to help us make the mapping meet-up better, please send us your feedback, ideas, or suggestions.

Since the PPMM is coordinated by ODC, the ODC Team would like to give a quick update on our current project(s), at the beginning of every session. After that, we welcome any presenters/contributors.

For the next mapping meet-up, which is scheduled for June 25th (venue to be announced), we would like to host a panel discussion on how to mentor student mappers. If you have worked with students, taught GIS classes, or have ideas to contribute, we would love to hear from you! Please send your suggestions/ideas to the e-mail address above or leave a comment below.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in sharing his/her ideas, please kindly help us spread the words.

We thank you in advance for your contribution.
