Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Inviting examples of Open Source Geospatial ...
Kurt, This is great work that you are doing and thank you for sharing this . I am sure there are thousands of excellent examples like these in our OSGeo community which we need to highlight to the wider world to build more ideas and collaborations. Our Geo for All newsletters will reach thousands of readers and it will make sure more collaborations are build. So i request everyone to send their examples (from Government, Industry, SME, Startups, NGOs etc) to the lists or directly to Nikos ( email -labri...@eled.auth.gr ) and we will aim to get these examples published in our monthly newsletters as regular feature. So it will good to have lot of examples so we can get them published one by one.

Nikos, Suchith, OSGeo software project teams: Re the GeoForAll newsletter: Please consider having a regular section in the newsletter that does a story on some class or material someone in our network has developed, and promotes the open access educational material that GeoForAll labs are building through this metadata inventory system [1]. I hope the OSGeo software project teams might consider writing a post about their own training activities and consider posting metadata links to their materials via this system as well. This will be a further step toward a closer partnership between our education network and the software teams.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Inviting examples of Open Source Geospatial ...
Hi Charlie, this is excellent idea. For example, next month's [Oct 2015] newsletter, let us start with Mapping with Leaflet [2] from the repository We should link this also with OSGeo Live[1] and should aim to get one project from OSGeo Live highlighted in each edition to start building more closer collaboration opportunities and uptake of the resources. This will make sure more educators will start knowing about this resource and will start using OSGeo Live. Anyone from OSGeo Live community willing to help us with this ? Please let Nikos know asap.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Some announcements regarding FOSS4G Seoul
Dear All, Ye! Only 4 weeks left until FOSS4G Seoul!! All LOC members are very excited to welcome you here in Seoul and I’d like to give you some notices regarding FOSS4G Seoul. 1. On-line registration(http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/ http://2015.foss4g.org/attending/registration/) will be closed on 2nd September. Any registrations received after this deadline will be considered as On-site Registration. The On-Site registration fee will be the same as of On-line's. However there will be possibility that On-Site registrants can't collect conference kit(program book, t-shirt, 32GB OSGeo Live USB, Seoul MICE card and etc), because FOSS4G Seoul team will order conference kits based on On-line registration number. We’ll order more for the buffer definitely. But it’s very hard to estimate how many will register on-site. So, it is highly recommended to register in advance. Your early registration will be beneficial to you and FOSS4G Seoul team as well. 2. We’ll have Gala Dinner on 16th September(Wednesday), the first day of main conference. Please mark the date. The Gala Dinner is included in the full 3 days registration fee, so all participants can enjoy the night with all other participants. This Gala Dinner will be co-hosted by FOSS4G Seoul and SmartGeoExpo. So, this will be your great chance to get along with other delegates from SmartGeoExpo event. 3. We’ll have Social Drinks on 17th September(Thursday) after completing full Thursday program. We will provide a couple of drinks(soda, water, beer, coffee, etc.,) with finger food at free at the lobby. This Social Drinks is sponsored by KRIHS(Korea Research Institute of Human Settlement). For more information about Social Events, please visit here:http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/social-events/ http://2015.foss4g.org/programme/social-events/ 4. For the efficient communication, please subscribe mailing list(http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2015 http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2015), Twitter(@foss4g) and Facebook(https://www.facebook.com/foss4g2015 https://www.facebook.com/foss4g2015).
