We are proud to make a humble contribution to the Open Principles in Science and Education. If you understand Spanish or can translate this post you'll understand what I'm talking about: https://gvsigbatovi.wordpress.com/2017/12/21/ganadores-del-concurso-proyectos-de-trabajo-con-estudiantes-y-gvsig-batovi-reconocidos-en-la-tercera-edicion-de-los-premios-inspira/. Proprietary GIS vendors will find it almost impossible to undermine this Open Principles at least in Uruguay because its roots are growing strong thanks to a lot of wonderful professionals, professors, students, some of them appear in this post. And we will love to share our experience with anyone who asks for it.

Your work in Open Education and Open Knowledge is a great inspiration for the GeoForAll community. May I request everyone if they find any attempts to undermine Open Principles in GeoEducation either directly or indirectly anywhere in the world (using sponsorship etc) to please email the organisations as I did . Having only one proprietary GIS product alone promoted in School GIS education is trying to create monopoly in GIS Education. Please ask them to include Free and Open Source GIS also in the curriculum. In my humble opinion, Science is not any specific GIS tools! (proprietary or open source). Any proprietary GIS vendors doing sales/marketing of any proprietary GIS products as “The Science” is either just joking : -) or misleading customers! Geographic Information Science is not “owned “by any proprietary GIS vendor owner! Let us all work to make sure Geographic Information Science is Open for our future generations… Best wishes, Suchith ________________________________ From: SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA <sergio.acostayl...@mtop.gub.uy> Sent: 27 November 2017 12:45 To: Suchith Anand; discuss@lists.osgeo.org Subject: RE: Open Letter requesting RGS to be part of Open Principles in Science and Education for a better world for everyone Many thanks Suchith for all you are doing.
