Rightly said Venka. It is a decade since OSGeo India was formed with your nudging (emails) and Meting Dr Roy at Pune (India) to sow the seed. Having a FOSS4G at India after a decade of (it's) formation would be wonderful. South Asia needs Societal-GIS in a big way and OSGeo India is trying it's best to popularise, 'Societal-GIS' to erase the shadow of corruption and bring in transparency in administration.��
Let us mobilise the opinion for the same.��

Dear All,

At the recently concluded FOSS4G-India [1],
it was proposed to host FOSS4G-Asia at
IIIT-H, Hyderabad, India in early December, 2016.

Dr. Rajan, Faculty at IIIT-H, who was at FOSS4G-Asia 2014 and who is the
main organizer of FOSS4G-India has kindly consented
to take the lead if the FOSS4G-2016�� is held at IIIT-H.

We would like to hear your opinion about the FOSS4G-Asia 2016
venue. If there is other proposals to host FOSS4G-Asia 2016,
please propose on this ML before 15 July 2015 so that we
can set-up some kind of selection process to decide the venue.

It would be great if the venue and dates are decided before
end of July 2015 so that we could plan to publish 1st Circular
that could be distributed at FOSS4G-2015 [3] to be held in Seoul,
South Korea between 14-19 September 2015.

Best

Venka
