[OSGeo-Discuss] Congratulations to Professor Maria Brovelli

[Polimi]

Thank you Suchith and thanks to all members of this generous community. 
This is an award that I want to share with all FOSS4G Educators and GeoForAll members.

And now, as Patrick recalled me in the last mail he sent me "you really have to make the world a better place!"

And we'll do that!
A warm hug!
Maria
