[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,


As we now moved to new website, but the migration of our lab info to new website is still not complete.


We have 125 labs listed in the table at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives#sortable_table_id_0


We are now moved to new website and many of these labs are not listed in the new website. You need to create  your own OSGeo id for this.  Please goto https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create


Once you created your OSGeoid , you can login to the OSGeo website and update/edit your GeoForAll lab/node info.


For all new GeoForAll labs/nodes, from now they will need to submit  their details  at https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/lab-submission/
