Dear all,

In case that someone wants to inform the community about a free and open
software, please take into account that in order to be accepted, the
information should be followed by a small article/comments (not more than
100 words) where, among other details, it should be pointed out that the
software is in accordance to the scopes of GeoForAll community.
This will help the editors because they don't have the time to check out in
depth all the software sent to the Newsletter.

Thank you for your participation

Dear All,

I am very happy and proud to share the excellent news that our good friend

years of her selfless contributions to Open Principles and education.

Maria has been working at the Politecnico di Milano since 1994, first as
researcher, then as Associate Professor and finally as Full Professor. She
is currently teaching Digital Cartography, Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and Internet GIS. In 1997, she started the Laboratory of Geomatics,
placed at the Como Campus of the Politecnico di Milano and up to 2011 she
has coordinated its activities as Head of the Lab. She has been involved in
Politecnico governance by covering several service activities. Currently
(since January 2011) she is Vice Rector of Politecnico di Milano for the
Como Campus. 

Maria is also charter member of OSGeo, a member of its Committee "Education
