<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last Monday we had a fantastic presentation by Carolina Arias and Carlos Castro through the GeoForAll Iberoamérica webinar series on preparing educational materials for geomatics courses. An interesting approach on how to create effective
hands-on exercises and materials for supporting geomatics courses using FOSS4G. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind reminder a week from today, Friday Nov 10 7:00 PM GMT we have the following participatory webinar:
<b>Can we initiate some GeoForAll collaborative education_research?</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To join participatory webinar: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://ucdenver.zoom.us/j/563231430" target="_blank">https://ucdenver.zoom.us/j/<wbr>563231430</a>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Can we initiate some GeoForAll collaborative education_research?</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We undoubtedly agree: The GeoForAll network is terrific. We have ~120 labs scattered throughout the world, we’ve identified some collaborative research and education areas (e.g., OpenCitySmart, GeoAgriculture), and there are some significant
collaboration going on across nodes, such as the NASA Europa Challenge. But we may have only scratched the surface on what we can, collectively, accomplish. Can we do even better?<br>
<br>
In this participatory webinar, Charlie Schweik of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, will be posing the question to the GeoForAll community: Can we initiate and “incubate” some GeoForAll collaborative research or educational projects? After presenting
this idea in more detail, we will open the webinar to community discussion and how to possibly move, collectively, forward</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
It is over a decade now since we started working on the philosophy of Openness in Geospatial Science and Education. The pace of change in the GIS in the last decade towards Openness has been beyond even my expectations.<br>
<br>
May i request all who are taking part in various Geo events (Geography Awareness Week, OSM Geo Week, GIS day etc ) to make use of the opportunity to promote Open Principles in GeoEducation by sharing information on GeoForAll and welcoming those interested
to be part of Open Principles in Science and Education. Please share the pledge for supporting Open Principles for Science and Education for building a better world for everyone.<br>
<br>
The ideas are summarized at <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/SuchithAnand/the-future-of-geo-is-open" target="_blank">
https://www.slideshare.net/<wbr>SuchithAnand/the-future-of-<wbr>geo-is-open</a> <br>
<br>
We welcome everyone to support Open Principles for Science and Education for building a better world for everyone.<br>
<br>
<b>The Future of Geo is For Everyone...</b><br>

Best wishes,<br>
