[Ica-osgeo-labs] Website intro text update

[Suchith Anand]

Dear all,

Following  the feedbacks and discussions of our Advisory Board  , the index page of our website http://www.geoforall.org  is now updated to reflect the bigger picture and the long term aims of the "Geo for All" initiative. It had to be shortened to make it concise but  it will give the bigger picture on the importance  of Opennness in Geoeducation (free and open GI software, open data, open standards, open access to research publications, open education resources). 

Helena is presenting at Open Geospatial Education panel session at UCGIS 2014 symposium this week, where she will present our initiative and invite more UCGIS member universities to join us. Thanks as always to Jason and University of Southampton colleagues for all their work for our website.
