[OSGeo-Discuss] "Geo for All" Newsletter Vol. 1, No. 2 - September 2015

2015-09-03 Thread Suchith Anand 
Many thanks to Nikos and all for their efforts and contributions  for the 
second edition of our newsletter. It is now available to download at 
http://www.geoforall.org/newsletters/

We would like to invite articles from Industry , Universities/Education, 
Startups, NGOs, Governments on examples of how Open Geospatial Software and 
Open Data is empowering them and created many new opportunities for "Geo for 
All" newsletters.


* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating new 
opportunities for Geospatial Industry
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating new 
opportunities for Startups
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating new 
opportunities for Universities/Education
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering  and creating 
new opportunities for Government organisations
* Examples of  Open Source Geospatial and Open Data empowering and creating new 
opportunities for NGOs

We are esp. interested to hear from government organisations/regional/local 
authorities on  how Open source GIS software helped the local authorities and 
various government departments in reducing huge annual licence fee costs for 
proprietary  software and the taxpayers as a whole benifitted from cost 
efficiencies,  reduce the cost of lock-in to suppliers and products. Now 
imagine the costs for  not just one year but in the future 5, 10 , 25 years. 
The savings will be billions of dollars of taxpayers money globally which can 
be invested by governments in  education, healthcare etc [1]

So please do send examples of how Open Source Geospatial and Open Data is 
empowering and creating new opportunities from Geospatial Industry, Startups, 
Education, NGOs, Government organisations to our chief editor of "Geo for All"
