Hi,

I really appreciate local organiser��s warm welcome and perfect preparation during the FOSS4G-Asia 2014. And it was really exciting experience to have met many new friends who shared the same interest and passion around open source GIS.

I hope we all reunion next year at FOSS4G 2015 Seoul.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

With regards,

Sanghee

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 G��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.

This FOSS4G-Asia Conference mailing list [3] will remain active and if you

have any feedback to help to improve the future conference, please

feel free to write on the ML. 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.

Venka
