Hello Everyone!

My name is Ethan Zhao and I am in 10th grade in the US (Texas). I'm participating in this year's Google Code-In, and I was doing tasks for OSGeo when I noticed Geo for All. I was instantly hooked by Geo for All's mission statement and motto. It perfectly combined my interests in geospatial technology and education of youth. Thus, I'd like to help contribute to Geo for All in spreading the use of geospatial technology to everyone.

I was told that Geo for All mainly operates at a university level, so I'm not sure if I would fit the requirements posted on the website. Could I jump in and help do anything that needs to be done? For example, while I may not have as much experience with the remote sensing or QGIS yet, I could work on any programs needed for outreach, education, etc. or just spread the word about Geo for All.

If you would like to learn more about me, my wiki page is at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Exyzhao.

Thanks for your time!
Ethan Zhao
