	Hi Lisa, Diana,

	 

	Here’s another newsclip from Asia Surveying and Mapping newsletter, Sep 13, 2006 issue.

	OS Geo 
	A new organisation was launched at the Map Asia conference. The Open Source Geospatial Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation. Its mission is to support collaborative development of open geospatial technolgies and data. 
	The organisation is being driven by Dr-Ing Phison Santitamnont <mailto:phisan_chale at yahoo.com>  at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. 
	OSGeo is modelled on the MapServer at the University of Minnesota in the US. It includes access to software developed on that site, such as MapGuide and Grass.
