[ANU Pacific.Institute] Vasiti Soko: the Mobile Me Project

[Miranda Forsyth]

Dear colleagues

An event of interest:

Next Friday 18/10/19, 12.30-1.30pm, in the NCIS Level 3 Conference Room (John Yencken Building, 45 Sullivans Creek Rd<https://www.anu.edu.au/maps#search=john+yencken&show=29009>) Vasiti Soko will be giving a lunchtime presentation on the Mobile Me project.

Mobile Me is a community project in partnership with the Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation that is looking to organize a Street Level Map-a-thon to locate facilities on the road, pavements and footpath that is accessible for Persons with Disability. The project utilises Vasiti's leadership and geospatial science skills.

About the Speaker
[https://australiaawardsleadership.org/files/view/?id=652]
Vasiti Soko has a Masters of Geospatical Science from RMIT and has been working at Geoscience Australia. She is from Fiji and is in Canberra until the end of October.

She is the first Fijian to create and publish transformation parameters which Fiji will use to move its GIS and Surveying data from the old datum (FMG86) to the new one (FMG2020).

Our friends on Level 1, the International Centre for Democratic Partnerships, have put her in touch with us. View her profile<https://australiaawardsleadership.org/leadership-and-mentoring/profiles/vasiti-and-suelynn/>.

Please come along to listen to Vasiti's presentation, which may inform your work on community based projects. Vasiti also welcomes any technical questions you may have about GIS.

This lunchtime seminar will be catered. Please RSVP here for catering purposes<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=XHJ941yrJEaa5fBTPkhkN5DK8QtJAQ9FvwXNVC1lLzZUNUdLSTNDOEE1OEw2UjRVQjc4SkpQTk5FRi4u>.
