Suchith, Charlie, as you work on new proposal ideas please take
into account this option coming from European Space Agency - ESA
ARTES 20 programme
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://artes-apps.esa.int/artes-20-iap-overview">https://artes-apps.esa.int/artes-20-iap-overview</a>). It is
focused on development of so called integrated applications -
operational services for a wide range of users based on
combination of different space-assets: satellite communications,
earth observation, satellite navigation, etc. As ESA supports
only 50% of all costs, services/applications developed should
have their "business plan" to maximize their cost-effective
implementation. So cooperation with a business/industry client
is inevitable :-)<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<pre wrap="">Helena, this is great idea and let us follow up these ideas by email and also at our meetings in Como. It is great timing that Charlie and his family is now here at Nottingham for the next two months and i will get opportunity to work closely with him to develop many ideas/research grant proposals etc to expand GeoforAll.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Subject: Re: ngo and industry partners
I'm currently in Nottingham working with Suchith. I've noted this as an important discussion topic for our meeting(s) in Como. . More on that agenda in the next month.
Cheers,
Charlie

Suchith,
in Portland we discussed the importance of working with industry, non-profit organizations,
and others outside academia and government.
OSGeo Labs Network industry partners membership was suggested among other things -
we can continue this discussion in Como and prepare there a proposal to get some feedback
from the members. This would be a good way to give recognition to companies that provide
fellowships for students or organize and fund code sprints where students from the labs participate.
This would allow the industry work with multiple labs or across the entire geo4all initiative,
rather than a single lab.
For others on the list - we will call for feedback, specific examples of collaboration with industry
and your ideas after FOSS4G Europe in Como when we will have the outline written up on wiki.
best regards, Helena

Thanks Helena. May i request all of you to update this info by 30th May 2015, so that we can keep this updated.
Let me thank all of you who have contributed your ideas/inputs for updating the criteria list and also all our AB members for thier insights and inputs for the long term planning. Apologies it took over 8 months to get this updated version but it was important we take time to discuss all ideas/suggestions from the AB members and the community for this. It was also decided that it is time for us to think ahead and make sure local organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future.
Also the Advisory Board decided that as we have the backing of three great Geo organisations (ICA, ISPRS and OSGeo) and to maintain quality, no private organisations be allowed to use the name of ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS lab title. We welcome participation from private organisations (they are welcome to join our mailling lists, participate etc) but we will only allow ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS lab title from now only to universities, educational institutes, government organisations with focus on education who agree to follow the criteria listed at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria</a> The regional chairs will make sure that future applications from interested organisations for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS lab reflect this updated criteria.
There are many open source GIS companies making great contributions to our aims and we want to encourage our university labs to collaborate with them by including those private companies etc to work directly with thier universities as some of our labs are already doing (getting them in the Advisory Boards of the labs etc)
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://geospatial.ucdenver.edu/foss4g/advisory-board">http://geospatial.ucdenver.edu/foss4g/advisory-board</a>
We have made amazing progress thanks to the efforts put in by all of you and this is now making a real difference to expanding geoeducation opportunities globally.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] ALL LABS PLEASE READ: request for wiki table update
Dear members of the OSGeo REL network,
the advisory board has approved formalized conditions of the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS lab network membership.
The document can be found here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join/">http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join/</a>
It is now important to make sure that all members of the network, including the small and large labs
confirm their membership by updating the information in the wiki table:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives#sortable_table_id_0">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Edu_current_initiatives#sortable_table_id_0</a>
If everything there is correct, up to date and you have there links to your active OSGeo lab website,
you don't need to do anything.
If you still have "in process of being established" or no link at all, please fill in the column
"Notes" with an update on where you are in the process.
We need your update by the end of May 2015, after that the regional chairs will start contacting
the members who seem to be inactive to see whether they are still interested.
Please, contact your regional chairs if you need any help with updates,
Helena
