Dear all,<br>
<br>
Thanks to Maria's ideas and background work, we are pleased to inform that <b>Dr Rafael Moreno (University of Colarado, Denver, USA)</b> has kindly volunteered to be the main coordinator for Geo4All webinars from now. His lab at the University of Colarodo ,
Denver in addition to excellent research , teaching & training , have also been running an excellent webinar series.

<br>
Webinars are an excellent way to share our research and build more research collaborations with other labs and the wider geocommunity. At OSGeo, we do not yet have our own webinar system ( we hope one day in future we will have our own OSGeo webinar system
), so we are grateful for the volunteer support provided by Rafael and University of Colarado, Denver for this .
<br>
<br>
I also request colleagues to please inform Rafael, if you wish to present your research for these webinars and Rafael will arrange these webinars at mutually convenient time. Similar to our Geo4All newsletter initiative, i think our webinar series is a great
outreach opportunity . It needs both strong volunteer team (like Nikos & co-editors) and all of us to send the updates so they can help us to make the initiative successful.<br>
<br>
Rafael - on behalf of everyone , our sincere thanks to you and your team for volunteering on this important initiative for the community. I will also request Jason to update our webinar page with past webinars of your lab and also info. on future webinars.
Jason will be able to give you login details for the website, if you wish to do it yourself<br>

<br>
