Hello Yann, Aruna, list,

first, a warm welcome to the geospatial team at University of Moratuwa.

Aruna, Yann, make sure you are subscribed to this list for updates from
the Labs.

We'd like to get your lab listed on the table of labs. If you could,
create a login on the wiki
( http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives ) and edit the
table to add another row with your lab information. If you need help
with that, let me know.

Please also consider setting up a website on your end that lists all
current research, people, training info etc. that could be listed in the
table above.

> Cheers,
> Yann

Let me know if you have further questions,

Best regards
Anne Ghisla
