Thanks, Vicky.

I will have a look at both to check if there is any labs missing on
either list.

The Map function of the GeoForAll website is also not working , so I request OSGeo Board to advise and help us on this. Thanks.

>>
>> 2. There are people using the GeoForAll lab form to submit questions about OSGeo Software to GeoForAll (see some attached screenshots). This to me is most certainly the wrong place for these questions to be posted.
>>
>> 3. There are also some spam/vendors posting on this lab form also.
>>
>> 4. As indicated in a recent email thread we have some form data being submitted completely and wholly in a language other than English. Whilst I absolutely am in favour of each lab communicating in their native tongue or official national language we do need (at least) the description translated to English. Yes, I could drop this into Google Translate but that is probably not the most accurate way to translate. See some attached screenshots.
