Ari Jolma led what I thought turned out to be a very nice paper on the open source software stack applied to environmental modeling. That might be a good one for your students who have any kind of earth science bent. - Dan<br>

OSGeo edu colleagues,<br>
<br>
Three things:<br>
<br>
1) An apology again for my lack of consistent leadership. I have a serious family health issue going on that has been needing my attention. But it has raised the question as to whether it is time for me to step down in my role as this group's chair, and we bring in some new leadership energy. I'm willing to stay on, but am not happy with my performance and wonder if the group would be better served with someone new who has more time. Should we hold an election?<br>
<br>
2) I'm going to present to a graduate student seminar about OS Geospatial issues and technologies. I need to put together a reading list. I thought it might be interesting to solicit from this group suggestions for what this reading list might be. Send me any ideas (and links) to resources and I'll compile and send the results out to the group.<br>
<br>
3) I'm going to continue working on the desktop GIS handbook over the next few months. Remember these links?<br>

Anyone have any other additions or contributions?<br>
