Sincere thank you to the whole gang at AIT, who graciously hosted
FOSS4G-Asia in 2014 (http://www.foss4g-asia.org/2014/), and especially
our good friend Sarawut, OSGeo charter member and leader, who we all met
at FOSS4G 2004. The love and kindness of OSGeo-Thailand is felt
throughout the entire FOSS4G community.

Dear all,
On behalf of GeoForAll and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, it is
my great pleasure to introduce our colleagues at Asian Institute of
Technology, Thailand as our “GeoForAll” lab of the month. The Asian
Institute of Technology promotes technological change and sustainable
development in the Asian-Pacific region through higher education,
research and outreach. Established in Bangkok in 1959, AIT has become a
leading regional postgraduate institution and is actively working with
public and private sector partners throughout the region and with some
of the top universities in the world. Recognized for its multinational,
multicultural ethos, the Institute operates as a self-contained
international community at its campus located 40 km north of downtown
Bangkok, Thailand. More details at http://www.ait.ac.th
The GeoForAll lab @AIT was established for promote and enhance
education, research and service activities in the area of Open
Geospatial Science & Applications. The OSGeo software were taught in
various classes including Geographic Information Systems, Web GIS
Technology, Spatial Analysis Methods in GIS, Geospatial Data Processing
etc. Recently the class of Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial
Analysis was initialized. This course aims at providing students with
practical utilization of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for data
manipulation, management and analysis of remote sensing images and GIS
data. 50 computers in the laboratory was installed the OSGeo VM suite.
