<div class="PlainText">Yes, and Helena Mitasova was nominated as the contact person for Geo4All. This should be reflected in the websites, promotional materials etc.<br>
<br>
I also strongly suggest that Geo4All link should be there in the OSGeo index page , as this is our official outreach (official MoUs with external organisations). So it is important to highlight this and not to duplicate efforts.<br>
