Oggetto: [Ica-osgeo-labs] FW: Newsletter Vol. 1, No. 2 - September 2015 

Many thanks to Nikos and all for their efforts and contributions  for the
second edition of our newsletter. It is now available to download at
http://www.geoforall.org/ 

We would like to invite articles from Industry , Universities/Education,
Startups, NGOs, Governments on examples of how Open Geospatial Software and
Open Data is empowering them and created many new opportunities for "Geo for
All" newsletters.

* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating
new opportunities for Geospatial Industry 
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating
new opportunities for Startups
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating
new opportunities for Universities/Education
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering  and creating
new opportunities for Government organisations
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating
new opportunities for NGOs 

We are esp. interested to hear from government organisations/regional/local
authorities on  how Open source GIS software helped the local authorities
and various government departments in reducing huge annual licence fee costs
for proprietary  software and the taxpayers as a whole benifitted from cost
efficiencies,  reduce the cost of lock-in to suppliers and products. Now
imagine the costs for  not just one year but in the future 5, 10 , 25 years.
The savings will be billions of dollars of taxpayers money globally which
can be invested by governments in  education, healthcare etc.

So please do send examples of how Open Source Geospatial and Open Data is
empowering and creating new opportunities from Geospatial Industry,
Startups, Education, NGOs, Government organisations to our chief editor of
"Geo for All" newsletter -Dr. Nikos Lambrinos, Dept. of Primary Education
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (  Email - labrinos at
eled.auth.gr
<http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ica-osgeo-labs>  )

Best wishes,

Suchith
