Charlie, <div><br></div><div>Slightly off topic but not really... Since your last email about educational content, we've started building a set of tutorials for the DotNet programmers on how to use the new open source DotSpatial library for building custom apps. Right now we've got four tutorials all based on desktop applications, but we're generating one per week (so I can use them in my GIS programming class!) and will be adding web (<a href="http://ASP.NET">ASP.NET</a>) tutorials as well and would like to some how contribute these to the broader edu effort. <div>
<br></div><div><a href="http://dotspatial.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=DotSpatial%20Tutorials&referringTitle=Documentation">http://dotspatial.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=DotSpatial%20Tutorials&referringTitle=Documentation</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not sure what the next step is other than to continue to generate the tutorials and keep posting them online. I do have one question though... what is the proper way to copyright these such that they can be used freely by anyone for any purpose? I'm pretty familiar with the different OS licenses, but am still naive on the various open copyrights. </div>

<pre>I would be interested in contributing exercises for GeoMOOSE. I teach a graduate level class at the University of Minnesota where I have developed exercises for using GeoMOOSE/MapServer. I think it would make a lot of sense if I followed the same series of exercises that the other web-based projects are proposing.

Terrific Brian! <br>
<br>
I'm trying to use the wiki page
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Web_GIS_lab_exercises" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Web_GIS_lab_exercises</a> to keep track of
what people might be willing to contribute related to OS Web-based
GIS.<br>
So far, you're the first person to volunteer to help on the Web
side. <br>
<br>
Are there others on this list creating material related to any of
these other technologies?<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li> deegree
</li>
<li> geomajas
</li>
<li> Geoserver
</li>
<li> Mapbender
</li>
<li> Mapfish
</li>
<li> Mapguide open source
</li>
<li> MapServer
</li>
<li> OpenLayers
</li>
<li>Others?</li>
</ul>

Folks, I have one other idea related to this that might move us
forward (both on the web and also desktop handbook production) as a
group. Might we think of some coordinated "summer independent study"
where we have students (grad or possibly undergrad) do some self
learning of various technologies and through this, develop common
tutorials as a deliverable of these independent studies? Is a
coordinated summer independent study like this possible? <br>
