Denver's FOSS4G Lab. Thanks to Dr. Rafael Moreno-Sanchez who has been
leading this at University of Colarado, Denver, USA. It is also great
to see the establishment of an international advisory board for the
lab  to review plans and activities and provide advice for the growth
and future direction of the lab. Details
