[OSGeo-Discuss] The Open Source Geospatial Lab at the Pete Fisher Laboratory for Geocomputation, University of Leicester, UK

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


The launch of the Open Source Geospatial Lab at the Pete Fisher Laboratory for Geocomputation at the University of Leicester, United Kingdom  [1] was formally announced by The President and Vice Chancellor of University of Leicester Professor Paul Boyle at the GISRUK conference yesterday. I want to thank all colleagues at the University of Leicester for working together for making this possible. Once again excellent work that they all  did to organise the GISRUK conference again at Leicester (after 25 years) following the great footsteps of Pete Fisher. It is a great way to carry on his legacy for the future generations with the launch of Open Source Geospatial Lab at the University of Leicester.


The Open Source Geospatial Lab  at the Pete Fisher Laboratory for Geocomputation will be a guiding light for Open Principles in Geo education and research globally … It will help spread the importance of kindness and sharing values to help create a world that is more accessible, equitable and full of innovation and opportunities for everyone.


Best wishes,


Suchith



PS: It was excellent to see many colleagues yesterday . I had to leave immediately after the first session because of  other commitments. I look forward to expanding our collaborations.
