This morning, ODC’s Project Manager Terry Parnell presented on the panel “Open Data, Social Development and the Implementation Insights” at the Mekong ICT Camp, in Thailand.

ODC team conducted a series of presentations on ODC site at TechCamp Phnom Penh, a technology conference organized by the US Embassy. The focus was on maps, and the anticipated online library and geo-server, with maps of Economic Land Concessions being used as an entry point to demonstrate how the site actually works.

On April 30, the ODC team hosted a monthly Phnom Penh Mapping Meet-up (PPMM), in which ODC, Atlas, and Sahmakum Teang Tnaut presented on the recent project updates and results. As a result of ODC’s outreach activities, six students from the Royal University of Agriculture attended the event. To encourage more participation from local Cambodian university students, ODC made plans to expand communication outreach to other university campuses.
