Dear all,
On behalf of the "Geo for All" initiative, it is my great pleasure to inform the \
launch of the new website for the University of Colarado Denver's FOSS4G Lab. Thanks \
to Dr. Rafael Moreno-Sanchez who has been leading this at University of Colarado, \
Denver, USA. It is also great to see the establishment of an international advisory \
board for the lab to review plans and activities and provide advice for the growth \
and future direction of the lab. Details \
athttp://geospatial.ucdenver.edu/foss4g/advisory-board
The University of Colarado Denver's FOSS4G Lab is supported by a diverse group of \
faculty from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Architecture \
and Planning, all of whom have a particular interest in FOSS4G. The faculty \
collective is constantly expanding into new departments and colleges, adding to the \
breadth of knowledge and expertise in Geospatial Science. The initial lab faculty \
include Dr. Peter Anthamatten, Dr. Joshua French, Michael Hinke, Dr. Wesley Marshall, \
Dr. Carolyn McAndrews, Dr. Rafael Moreno-Sanchez, Dr. Deborah Thomas, Dr. Austin \
Troy, Dr. Amanda Weaver, Dr. Michael Wunder, Suzanne Anderson, Tim Stalker and \
Valerie Kraucunas.
Details at http://geospatial.ucdenver.edu/foss4g/faculty
They also offer a wide diversity of geospatial training with certificate programs in \
the Department of Geography and Environmental Science, the College of Architecture of \
Planning, and the School of Engineering. More details of the University of Colarado \
Lab at http://geospatial.ucdenver.edu/foss4g/home-2
University of Colarado is the 18th University in the USA to establish Open Geospatial \
Lab http://www.geoforall.org/ in the last 2 years and joins a great family of other \
key research universities (University of Massachusetts ,Harvard University,University \
of California, University of North Carolina, University of Kansas, Arizona State \
University, Kent State University etc). We are looking forward to receiving more \
applications from other universities in USA to establish research labs and expand our \
research in Open Geospatial Science in the United States and globally.
Best wishes,
Suchith
PS: There is also good news on Open Education with the U.S. Open Government \
Partnership: National Action Plan that is released. Details \
