Dear All, I would like to express my congratulation to all the organizers and participants to the FOSS4G-ASIA event which in my opinion fully reflect the spirit of our community of communities. Friendly environment, open to everyone, contained costs and a lot of contents... to take inspiration from or to consider as next challenges.
Really, compliments again,
Massimiliano

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.
- Best FOSS4G Use Case Award to Kazeem Owolabi and others for
"Use case: supporting polio eradication and Ebola outbreak response"
- Best FOSS4G Developer Award to Gérald Fenoy and NIcolas Bozon
for "MapMint: The 100% service-oriented GIS platform"
- 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
