<p dir="ltr">Hi Suchith and all,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm attending the conference and going to introduce GeoForAll to the Russian-speaking community at the Education track. So if anyone from the network will be there too and willing to join the talk - just let me know.</p>

It will be great if Jeff or Venka are able to attend and present OSGeo. <br>
<br>
<br>
Also may i request our colleagues at The Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies (SSUGT) Open Geospatial Lab to be there to share their experiences at this conference. The SSUGT Open Geospatial Lab is the central and only node in Russian Federation. We hope more universities in Russia will start establishing OSGeo labs to help expand more education opportunities there.<br>

PS: Two weeks back i attended SASIG 2015 in Lisbon to give keynote and it was a great opportunity to get discussions started for establishing a dedicated OSGeo lab in Portugal. Thanks to the SASIG organisors for funding my travel which enabled me to attend the conference.<br>

Hi Arnulf,<br>
<br>
Maxim has sent me a direct message about this. I will see if I can make<br>
it work and get back to you here. Venka and I have been speaking of<br>
such a visit to Moscow and the community there (several attended<br>
FOSS4G-Seoul), and maybe this is the good reason to do so in November.<br>
I will look into visa requirements though first.<br>
<br>
PS. I attended the first QGIS Users meeting in Denmark last year as a<br>
keynote, I agree that such a representation goes a long long way.<br>
