[OSGeo-Discuss] Call for volunteers to join the GeoAmbassodor article team

Sun Apr 1 02:21:47 PDT 2018

Sushith,

This is a great magazine and I will certainly promote it during the
outreach activities we plan. I will/can not volunteer as an author, but
I will promote and try to find people who can contribute to the content
of the magazine. Hope this can help.

Good work!

Dirk
