Dear All, 10 days have passed since the successful conclusion of FOSS4G-Asia 2014. On behalf of the organizers, I will like to thank one and all for support and active participation in FOSS4G-Asia 2014. The conference was attended by more then 112 participants for 18 different countries and by all means a grand success. International Journal of Geoinformatics [1] is planning to bring out Special Issue of FOSS4G-Asia 2014 sometimes in June 2015. We will send notifications to authors whose papers will be shortlisted for the special issue by the scientific committee of FOSS4G-Asia 2014. Three awards were presented as below. 1) Best FOSS4G Use Case Award to Kazeem Owolabi and others for "Use case: supporting polio eradication and Ebola outbreak response" 2) Best FOSS4G Developer Award to GÃ©rald Fenoy and NIcolas Bozon for "MapMint: The 100% service-oriented GIS platform" 3) Best Poster Award to Jayasinghe and others for "Assess the level of vulnerability to climate exaggerated disasters in Sri Lankan Coastal Areas: An Application of Open Source Geographic Information System" 2015 we will have the global gathering of FOSS4G in Seoul [2] and a special Asian Session at FOSS4G-2015 was announced by the Conference Chair Mr. Sanghee Shin during FOSS4G-Asia 2014. We hope to see all of you at FOSS4G-Seoul in 2015. FOSS4G-Asia will be held again in 2016 somewhere in Asia. If have any suggestion for the FOSS4G-Asia 2016 venue, please let us know.

Please ask your friends and colleagues interested in FOSS4G to subscribe to the ML too. I take this opportunity to thank the Sponsors, Local Organizers and Volunteers without whose help, FOSS4G-Asia 2014 would not be possible. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
