Dear Hristo,<br>
<br>
In fact, we decided not to have a sign in page or any forms etc as we wanted this to be a pledge of the hearts and minds. So just pass it to all colleagues and ask them to support the pledge in their hearts for Open Principles in GeoEducation and Science . So
it is fully free and open for anyone to participate. Just tweet, forward the emails, put blogposts , share the OSGeo Live urls through your networks etc supporting Open Principles in Science and Education. If you are at any GIS events , please share these
ideas to colleagues.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also really hope the various organisations and SMEs in the OSGeo ecosystem will come forward and distribute OSGeo Live DVDs, USBs as part of the GIS Day and other Geo events that week . All ideas/inputs welcome.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Suchith<br>

Dear suchith,<br>
This idea is really nice, but without some<br>
financial support it will not work as expected.<br>
If one participates in an event what is needed<br>
is at least some printed leaflets and ready media<br>
(preferably USB) which has to bought and written.<br>
I personally cannot afford such expenses at my own.<br>
<br>
I suppose other colleagues face the same issue.<br>
<br>
