>> Hi Massimiliano,
>>
>> Thank you for your queries.
>>
>> Yes, GeoforAll is 100 percent an OSGeo Education initiative (but
>supported by others like ICA, ISPRS through MoUs and we hope more like
>minded organisations who have interest in enabling Geospatial education
>and opportunities for all join us in the future).
>>
>> Regarding your questions:
>>
>> - Does a budget for Geo4All exists?
>>
>> Yes, the only budget we have is the $5k allocation for ICA/OSGeo Labs
>Student Travel  in the OSGeo budget last year and this year. Last year
>budget [1] if i remember correctly we did not use it .
>> [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2014
>>
>>
>> - ISPRS, ICA and OSGeo how they support the initiative, apart from
>having signed the MoU?
>>
>> For example in addition to the amazing support that both ICA and
>ISPRS has given which helped us expand to many universities globally ,
>they have been contributing to student awards etc. For example for the
>Europa World Wind challenge 2015, both ICA and ISPRS are contributing
>student prizes
>http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ica-osgeo-labs/2015-May/001531.html  I
>remember ICA gave student awards last year also for Europa challenge.
>>
>> - Why Geo4All need a website hosted in Nottingham and is not using
>the OSGeo infrastructure, like the OSGeo committees (incubation,
>marketing, etc.)?
>>
>> First of all, it is NOT hosted in Nottingham, it is developed and
>hosted by the University of Southampton. We had long , big discussions
>in Geofor all maillists to see who can help us with the website
>development and hosting . In fact, our first offer came from colleagues
>in Mexico but unfortunately even after nearly 1 year delay nothing
>happened and thankfully that time University of Southampton colleagues 
>stepped in and volunteered to develop a website for us free and i am
>very grateful for that.
>>
>> If OSGeo intrstructure can be provided  and we can get volunteers for
>developing and maintaining our website , we will be very happy. The
>website is really key for us and we  need to make sure it is supported
>long term. For example, the open educational repository that we at
>University of Nottingham developed called ELOGeo, i wanted to transfer
>to OSGeo infrastructure when the project funding ended and i did send
>many emails but nothing happened. We do not want the same thing to
>happen to our website as we spend huge amounts of time and effort
>reaching this stage and hence we request support  for the website
>developments . As you can see from the links in my email there has been
>lot of discussions from the community on this and supporting our
>website developments is the top priority.
>>
>> - How Geo4All differentiates from the educational committee? Shall we
>consider that committee dead and replaced by Geo4All?
>>
>> GeoforAll is a key element of OSGeo Education initiative not
>replacing the educational committee . The biggest advantage of having
>GeoforAll initiative is that we have made OSGeo Education into a wider
>geocommunity initiative ( not just OSGeo but much wider geocommunity
>inititative in collaboration with other like minded organisations) and
>we need to take actions to expand this.
>>
>> Please let me know if there are any other queries. Thanks.
