[Ica-osgeo-labs] [Board] Reminder of meeting tomorrow

Wed May 20 16:13:41 PDT 2015

Dear Suchith, Jeff and all,
I would like to have some clarification, because due to my fault, I was not
able to follow deeply close the events.
So please, apologize me for the questions. I also think this could help in
clarifying some aspects to all others that are in my position.

I will list a list of event I remember on the Geo4All initiative, please
correct if it is wrong.

- OSGeo signed a MoU with ICA to support Open Source Geospatial Education.
- The ICA-OSGeo labs initiative started and labs started to join.
- ISPRS joined to ICA and OSGeo and a MoU was signed also with the
presidend of ISPRS
- Geo4All is the "nickname" used for the ISPRS-ICA-OSGeo labs initiative
- Suchith leads the effort, and together with other colleagues a number of
important actions was initiated (thanks)

Now, Geo4All requires some funds to support its initiatives to translate
the MoU in actions.

So, here my questions:
- Does a budget for Geo4All exists?
- ISPRS, ICA and OSGeo how they support the initiative, apart from having
signed the MoU?
- Why Geo4All need a website hosted in Nottingham and is not using the
OSGeo infrastructure, like the OSGeo committees (incubation, marketing,
etc.)?
- How Geo4All differentiates from the educational committee? Shall we
consider that committee dead and replaced by Geo4All?

As I already asked please apologize me for my lack of information.

Regards,
Massimiliano
