[Ica-osgeo-labs] "Geo for All" education mission is now launched

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Suchith,

Regarding the "Geo for All" education mission, during FOSS4G 2013 we
spoke in person about possibly having a "Geo for All" day, one day a
year, to celebrate/promote FOSS4G in education.  We discussed using Sol
Katz's birthday as a possible day for this.  This morning I heard back
from one of Sol's daughters (response below).  I think this is a great
idea, to promote FOSS on his birthday!

(we might want to incorporate the hawaiian shirts and silly hats idea
into our Geo for All theme, in his honor as well)

His birthday was August 3rd, 1947.

As a side note, he also loved Hawaiian shirts and silly hats if you'd
ever want to tie that in.

Thanks so much for all you do and for thinking of him!
