I'm interested to know the nature of the permission you have been
granted regarding the AAG GIS&T Body of Knowledge.<br>
<br>
Of note, it seems that the document is not for free, as you can
purchase it from AAG's website.<br>
Is there a free copy floating around that we can use?<br>
<br>
I ask as I'm putting together a proposal for sponsoring the development
of training material.<br>

1) Good news.
<br>
<br>
Well it took me 3 months to get this (it was a bit complicated), but I
finally got permission from the two groups with the copyright over the
AAG GIS&T Body of Knowledge [1] to use it as a potential guiding
framework for our future curriculum work. I hope to restart discussions
about this soon. If anyone would be willing to step up and help me
coordinate the curriculum effort (I'm frantically trying to get a book
done and to a publisher right now), please contact me. Also, I'd like
to keep moving forward on the Webinar idea and could use some help on
that front. Please contact me if you are interested.
<br>
<br>
2) I'm going to the AAG conference on April 15th in Washington D.C. I
think Helena and I are on a panel about open source GIS being chaired
by Luc Anselin. If anyone else is going, perhaps we could coordinate a
Birds of a Feather meeting that day. Please contact me if you want to
do this.
<br>
<br>
More soon, hopefully.
<br>
<br>
Cheers
<br>
