[Ica-osgeo-labs] ISPRS joins "Geo for All"

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

The "Geo for All" Advisory Board is pleased to welcome the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS)  joining our initiative. ISPRS is a non-governmental organisation devoted to the development of international cooperation for the advancement of photogrammetry and remote sensing and their applications. Details at http://www.isprs.org

We are looking forward to working together in our common aim to expand geospatial education and opportunities to all. Prof. Chen Jun (ISPRS President), Jeff McKenna (OSGeo President) and Prof. Georg Gartner (ICA President) met during AfricaGEO in Cape Town in July 2014 to discuss future collaboration for GeoforAll   and we thank all of them for their vision to expand the initiative for the benefit of the wider community globally and also to make it inclusive as possible.  Prof. Maria Brovelli will be the coordinator for ISPRS and Geo4All activities. 

>From 14th July 2014, Geo4All  will be ICA, OSGeo and ISPRS initiative.   Jeff will be formally announcing this  important development in our expansion at his keynote presentation at FOSS4G-Europe http://foss4g-e.org  on Tuesday.  We will be updating our website etc soon to reflect this exciting development.

Best wishes,

Suchith
