[OSGeo-Edu] OSGeo Edu Virtual meeting Doodle poll

[Charles Schweik]

Hi all,

1) Tom - your idea (attached below) on regional education chairs is an
interesting one. Let's add that proposal to our discussion on group
governance in our virtual meeting.

2) I've created a Doodle poll to try and get a date set for a December
virtual meeting. Given the names on our wiki page [1] I tried to pick UTC
times that worked for England and Europe, US (east coast, Texas and
California), Helsinki. I tried to fit in Jarkarta but it is very late, and
places like Australia are difficult too. Given we are discussing EU and US
workshops, I decided on these times to best fit participants from that
region. Like international conferences, we can try and shift virtual
meeting times to fit other parts of the world as we move forward.

If you want to participate in our first virtual meeting, please add your
name and select times that work for you at

Cheers
Charlie
