Dear Martin,

Thank you for your email and interest to join Geo for All. I was very impressed by your Open Source GIS training programs and Summer School programs which i am sharing with our Geo for All colleagues for building collaborations.

You already qualify all the criteria we need and thank you for the excellent work that you and colleagues at University of Wuerzburg, Germany are doing for Open Geospatial Research and Education.


Prof. Maria Brovelli and Anne Ghisla are the co chairs of Europe for "Geo for All" who will be happy to provide any details you need and please coordinate with them.

The criteria for membership for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs are at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria


Could i request that you now follow the following steps:

1. Please confirm you are happy with our criteria and principles at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria and demonstrate activity that supports the Geo4all vision

2. Please also join the two mail list below so you and your colleagues get updated on the various developments both global and regional.

3. Please add your lab details as (no 96) to the wiki table list at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives . It will then get updated in our website etc.

4. Please confirm who will be the liaison officer to the initiative representing your university or if this is someone else from your university please add their details (email etc in this table)

5. Please take steps to setup a dedicated website for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies open data and open education approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.

We look forward to welcoming you and working with you for expanding Open Principles in Geo Education. We will be pleased to provide any details you need and please contact us for any information needed.

Best wishes, 

Suchith

PS: We are having a meeting of GeoforAll labs at FOSS4G 2015-Europe   http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/ in Como, Italy. Prof. Charlie Schewick is leading this meeting aimed to bring together colleagues from our  labs to discuss ideas for joint research , research bids etc. It will be great if you or one of your colleagues can participate for this meeting.
