Dear all,

The ICA-OSGeo Lab Network and MundoGeo are now pleased to inform the
inaugural webinar of "Open Geospatial Science & Applications" webinar
series on 18th October. The webinars will be open and free to all on first
come register basis.

The first webinar will be on "OSGeo Live for Education" by Jeremy Morley
(University of Nottingham). This first webinar will address the theme
"OSGeo Live for Education". With free registration, this event is
appropriate for all who are interested in knowing more about the ICA-OSGeo
Lab Network and its education activities. In addition to giving an overview
of OSGeo Live, Jeremy will be sharing his experiences of using the OSGeo
Live system for his MSc teaching in GIS at the University of Nottingham.

OSGeo Live 7.0 features more than fifty open source, standards compliant
geospatial desktop applications, web applications and frameworks. A
complete installation kit and high-quality sample data in multiple industry
standard formats are included. It is composed entirely of free software,
allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. Details
at http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html

Attendees will be able to interact with the speakers by sending their
comments and questions through chat. All attendees of this web seminar will
receive certificates for their participation.

For those of you who are new to OSGeo Live and our ICA-OSGeo Education

Geospatial Software, Education and Research" at Asia Geospatial Forum in
Kuala Lumpur last month which is at

It is a really good overview especially for those who are new to the
initiative and wish to establish Open Source Geospatial Labs in their
universities to understand what we are doing and join our expanding
network. If you are interested in establishing Open Source Geospatial lab
in your university for expanding your research in OpenGIS, please email
Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and we will be pleased to work with you
to make it happen.

All are welcome.
