[OSGeo-Edu] Re-starting our discussions

[Mark Leslie]

I thought it was time to de-lurk and introduce myself.  I'm a programmer 
working for LISAsoft, based in Sydney Australia.  I've been involved 
with the OSGeo Live DVD (currently branded as Arramagong) since it 
started rolling.  I've also been lurking on the edu list for ages, and 
have seen a chance to work together to further our ends.  Fortunately, 
so did Charlie, and he's given me the push I needed to finally do 
something about it.

I'm interested in helping to get any educational material that is 
available packaged up for inclusion on the live dvd, also known as Task 
A from the wiki link below.

At the moment, the DVD is targetted at introducing people to open source 
geospatial software, and as such introductory tutorials are a higher 
priority for us.  Judging from the wiki, the first step is to figure out 
what is currently available.  I've discovered a wonderful resource at 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Educational_Content_Inventory, but it's 
structure makes it hard to quickly scan through.  Is this the primary 
listing of what we know about?  Is there a great deal squirreled away in 
svn?
