Dear colleagues,

On behalf of Geo4All community I am pleased to share the latest
edition of our newsletter.

We would like to introduce our colleagues at Hellenic digital earth
Centre of Excellence, Greece, as our “Geo4All” lab of the month.
Hellenic digital earth Centre of Excellence, Greece, has developed as
a hub for fostering interactions and cross disciplinary collaborations
not only between Aristotle University of Thessaloniki students and
faculty, but it is also the hub of the global GeoforAll initiative.
Dr. Nikos Lambrinos initiated the idea of the Geo4All newsletter, and
in just one year's time, this has become the key platform for
expanding our ideas and building closer collaborations with
universities and industry worldwide.

We are also happy to present Sergio Acosta Y Lara  as our
GeoAmbassodor.  The amazing work that Sergio and colleagues in Uruguay
have done through gvSIG Batovi initiative has been an inspiration for
all of us.  Sergio is a true global citizen who has been working
toward expanding opportunities for geospatial education for all.
Sergio is the leading force who took the initiative to expand Geo4All
across South America and is the co-chair of South America.

There are some nice articles including  letter from Patrick Hogan
(NASA) regarding the NASA/Trentino Europa Challenge. Thanks to
everyone contributing articles to our newsletter

Open source software and open data  are now the backbone that
underpins much of the service delivery across the public, private and
consumer sectors of the world economy.
Governments, industry ,
start-ups are leveraging open source software and open data to
accelerate innovation in Geospatial. More importantly Open Principles
are key for true empowerment and sustainability.
