<a href="mailto:srilanka@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">srilanka@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><br><br><br>Dear All,<br><br><br>I am happy to announce that two OSGeo labs will be inaugurated in Sri<br>Lanka in the next month.<br>
Actual dates and time will be announced here shortly.<br><br><br>One OSGeo lab will be established at the University of Moratuwa and<br>another will be established at the Sri Lanka Institute of information<br>Technology. They will become a part of worldwide network of OSGeo<br>
labs.The aim of these labs is promoting the use of free and open source<br>GIS tools among students and the Sri Lankan community. They will be used<br>for teaching and research activities related to open source GIS.<br><br>
<br>OSGeo labs are being established around the world based on ICA-OSGeo<br>Lab initiative. In 2011, OSGeo and the International Cartographic<br>Association (ICA) had signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with the aim<br>of developing on global basis collaboration opportunities for academia,<br>industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and<br>data. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All". This<br>
initiative aims at providing expertise and support for the establishment<br>of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centers across the<br>world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software<br>
technologies, training and expertise. Over 40 Open Source Geospatial<br>Labs have already been established in universities around the world.<br>(<a href="http://www.geoforall.org/about/" target="_blank">http://www.geoforall.org/about/</a>)<br>
