<br>
Regarding the email (attached below) from Suchith on the
Nottingham Geospatial course repository. <br>
<br>
Suchith and his colleagues at the U of Nottingham, Tyler Mitchell,
and a number of other OSGeo edu members had a meeting last month
regarding the establishment of a more formalized OSGeo Academic
Network. The notes from this first meeting are here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Academic_Network_Mtg_Jun-23-2011">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Academic_Network_Mtg_Jun-23-2011</a>.
<br>
<br>
1) A move to the ELOGeo Repository?<br>
<br>
One suggestion was that we consider moving our educational
inventory efforts [1] over to this new educational material
platform [2]. The ELOGeo system is more sophisticated, allowing
for searching by date, author, subjects, etc. I think we as a
group should seriously think about doing this. I think their
system adds a lot to our collaborative effort and the energy and
effort by the Nottingham folks is terrific. They provide
publishing guidelines here [3]. Please take a look at this
platform and let us know what you think. <br>
<br>
I think another potential benefit to this is that it might help us
move to a "new derivative work" effort. I need to talk to Suchith
more about this, but I continue to wish that, for example, we
could set up a system where educational material in one language
might be translated to another language as a derivative work. Or
someone could update material for a new release of a particular
software. <br>
<br>
2) Planning for a Bird's of a Feather meeting at FOSS4G in Denver<br>
<br>
I have created a sign up page on the OSGeo wiki for people to add
their names if they are going to be at FOSS4G in Denver and want
to participate in one of two possible meetings. The first is a
Bird's of a Feather meeting that we should definitely have on
Wednesday Sept 14th during the 5:30-8:30 timeslot. The second is a
possible meeting on Saturday the 17th, that we could as a group
use as a "Workbook Content Sprint" or something where we roll up
our sleeves and try to move forward collectively on educational or
curriculum material.<br>
<br>
We can do more planning on agendas for the BOF and the possible
"Edu Sprint" after we know who will be there. <br>
<br>
If you are going to Denver, please sign up at <a
