[Ica-osgeo-labs] OpenGIS Webinar series

Mon Sep 16 03:37:48 PDT 2013

Hi All

We are keen to run an AURIN webinar in 2014.

However, we would like to propose a time that is more Australian friendly.
Could we make this at 6:00 UTC
in the March 2014 slot?

Cheers

Chris

>> in GIS  using open source (in Transport, HealthGIS, AgriGIS etc) and
>> fundamental research (automated generalisation, geospatial semantics
>>  etc). I will discuss with all and put together a webinar program
>> and structure for next 6 months .
>>
>> I look forward to work with you on this.
