[Suchith Anand]

Dear all,

On behalf of the “Geo for All” initiative, it is my great pleasure to inform the launch of the new website for the University of Colarado Denver's FOSS4G Lab. Thanks to Dr. Rafael Moreno-Sanchez who has been leading this at University of Colarado, Denver, USA. It is also great to see the establishment of an international advisory board for the lab  to review plans and activities and provide advice for the growth and future direction of the lab.

The University of Colarado Denver's FOSS4G Lab is supported by a diverse group of faculty from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Architecture and Planning, all of whom have a particular interest in FOSS4G. The faculty collective is constantly expanding into new departments and colleges, adding to the breadth of knowledge and expertise in Geospatial Science.

University of Colarado is the 18th University in the USA to establish Open Geospatial Lab  http://www.geoforall.org/  in the last 2 years and joins a great family of other key research universities (University of Massachusetts ,Harvard University,University of California, University of North Carolina, University of Kansas, Arizona State University, Kent State University etc). We are looking forward to receiving more applications from other universities in USA to establish research labs and expand our research in Open Geospatial Science in the United States and globally.

Best wishes,

Suchith
