[Geo4All] Working with the Open Data Institute

[Maria Brovelli]

Tomas, it is a wonderful initiative! I suggest you to give also a 
webinar where you present the system and the project (contact for that 
Rafael Moreno in CC) and to put references in the wiki webpage of 
Geocrowd G4A

Best regards!
Maria
