Thank you Daria for the excellent space-time visualisation that you created of all GeoForAll labs. I will be using this for my presentation tomorrow to the Open Education community :-)
Best wishes,
Suchith

Dear Jody and all,
as I understood from the previous e-mail, you need a simple static (print) map for the brochure. I've tried to create one based on the data from the GeoForAll Labs' table - please, see the result in the attachment. The map is created in QGIS and uses some of its advanced cartographic visualization techniques (data defined overrides, blending modes, draw effects etc.). Also, I tried to apply OSGeo coloring scheme, presented in the new branding material.
Please, let me know if you have any suggestions regarding the style of the map and its contents - I will be glad to help.
PS
if anyone wants to play with the data - here is the link to the csv-table, that I used [1]

I hope this could be one solution if one relays on Google services -
