> Hi All,
>
> The ICC 2013 conference was a great success thanks to the hard work  
> and efforts of the ICA Executive and Local Organisers. With over  
> 1400 delegates from all over the world, it was an excellent event.  
> This year there was also three minute slot for commissions at the  
> main plenary session , which was an excellent platform to reach out  
> to academics worldwide and  I got so many new expressions of  
> interest for joining our education initiative from delegates  just  
> because of this short plenary presentation opportunity.
>
> We also had an excellent meeting of the ICA-OSGeo Labs Network at  
> ICC 2013 last week and thanks to all of you who attended and  
> contributed for this. Silvania, Chris and Serena did excellent short  
> presentations of their labs at our meeting and it helped give the  
> bigger picture. We will also be working closely with the ICA  
> Commission on Education as there are lot of synergies that we can  
> jointly build upon for the future.
>
> Reminder of our next telemeeting tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. Agenda at   
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/ICA_OSGeo_Lab_Network_2013-09-05
>
> As we have only one hour, the two key priorities and discussions  
> will be OGC Schools at GitHub initiative that Luis Bermudez (OGC)   
> will present and OpenGIS Webinar series (MundoGeo). Also i will  
> request Manuel and Rafael to update on the website progress.  Maria  
> and colleagues are having their COST meeting earlier tomorrow and i  
> hope Maria gives us a quick update. Thanks again to Phil and GeoTech  
> Centre for hosting us.

> I am looking forward to see many of you at FOSS4G Nottingham in 2  
> weeks' time (actually in 12 days! - it really hectic and exciting  
> time for us here). We are really hoping that FOSS4G 2013 will be  
> excellent.
