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

[Jeremy Morley]

Jeff,

I love the idea of using his birthday - however my one concern is that
this time of year, August, is not as good for impact because of it being
the middle of the northern hemisphere summer and a big vacation period, at
least in Europe. We could go with it anyway, because of the significance,
of course, but is there any other particular, relevant date?

Jeremy
