Re: [gaia] GAIA - Minutes from 19 July Meeting posted and Next Steps

[Michael Oghia <[e-mail]>]

Dear Ermanno, Jane, Amreesh, all:

It's a pleasure to connect with this group, I'm familiar with GAIA's work
and appreciate what you do. As the compiler of the list (as Jane said so
well), thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have corrected the
error.

Note that this resource is open for comments and additions, so I also
invite you to add any resources or correct mistakes.

@Ermanno: It's an honor to connect with you especially, as I read your blog
post on the ISOC blog
<https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/development/2017/05/bringing-internet-venezuelas-remote-regions-while-setting-world-record>
about the work you do in Venezuela and the training you recieved in Italy.
It's both impressive and inspirational – keep up the great work!

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Best,
-Michael
