Colleagues,

On behalf of  "Geo for All"  http://www.geoforall.org  , we are
pleased to inform that  Region wise and Subject wise Thematic groups
are now  established and we welcome you to join us.

Following inputs from the "Geo for All" community we decided to have
new Regional chairs to help us accommodate our expansion plans. Also
this helps us to arrange meetings of the regional research labs
coinciding with the FOSS4G regional conferences now fully established
for accelerating research and teaching collaborations between our labs
. For example FOSS4G-Europe  http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/  for our
European labs ; FOSS4G NA https://2015.foss4g-na.org  for our North
American labs, FOSS4G-Asia http://www.foss4g-asia.org/2014/  for our
Asian labs etc.

With the region wise thematic groups established, the chairs of these
are now the contact points for any new labs to be established in that
region to contact and the mailing list becomes the first point of
contact for the new members and all regional members in the region can
use the list for collaborating on regional funding calls, FOSS4G local
conferences etc.  This way we can make sure it is scaleable and meets
local/region requirements/needs. The criteria for membership for
ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs are at
