Dear colleague,

May i request all who are taking part in various Geo events (Geography
Awareness Week, OSM Geo Week, GIS day etc ) to also make use of the
opportunity to promote Open Principles in GeoEducation by sharing
information on GeoForAll and welcoming those interested to be part of this.
Please give away OSGeo Live DVDs  and share GeoForAll ideas  at these
events.


Open principles in geoeducation (open educational resources, free and open
software, open data, open standards etc) are key for  true empowerment of
staff and students globally and making geospatial education and
opportunities accessible to all [1] . We look forward to working and
building collaborations with all interested in this education mission.
Access to quality education and opportunities is key for getting rid of
extreme poverty and enabling broadly shared prosperity for all.

Our ideas are summarized at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmGoC6iFds4

Millions of globally connected minds working together on the common mission
of enabling Open Education opportunities for everyone will be key for
making these developments possible. An idea whose time has come is the most
powerful force in the universe, and the time for "Access to quality
education opportunities for everyone" has arrived.

*Education + Empowerment = GeoForAll*

Happy GIS Day greetings in advance to all...

Best wishes,

Suchith
