[Ica-osgeo-labs] Pre-AAG Workshop on "Open GIS: New Opportunities for Research and Education, " April 7, 2014

[Finn, Michael]

Helena,

I have just replied that I would like to attend this workshop as I am
planning on attending AAG. I have been a member of the ICA Commission of
Open Source Geospatial Technologies for many years.

Further I have been on the ICA-OSGEO Labs mailing list since its inception.
We at the USGS (particularly CEGIS) discussed joining the lab network and
then decided we shouldn't in favor of educational institutions.

All that said, I would be willing to try to help you (us, the lab network)
out by presenting something on your behalf; however, I am not sure I would
be the person best suited for the task.

Mike Finn
