Great Suchith!

(All): I'm keeping a list of yes responses and then will organize the 
time for the call based on those participants and create an agenda for 
the call.
Basically I see three reasons for the conference call everyone: (1) to 
introduce people to each other who are deeply interested in 
OSGeo-related education; (2) to generate a set of group goals and 
associated to-do items; and (3) to identify people who would be willing 
to take a leadership role undertaking those tasks.

For university faculty who are on this list (especially newer faculty) 
-- perhaps an obvious point related to why you might consider taking 
part in our collective work. This kind of contribution/participation (at 
least at US institutions, but probably elsewhere as well) can be 
considered a useful "disciplinary service" contribution that you can put 
on your annual faculty activity reports... plus, it's another way of 
making your related work known to an international community.

More soon!

Cheers
Charlie
