Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm interested in a academic workshop, which could be composed the
way Tyler suggests. My main interest for the workshop is to plan and
develop an OSGeo edu virtual machine / live system - i.e., not a
single system but mainly develop the method, procedure and
capabilities for making packages that are used to compose such
systems.<br>
<br>
I already presented this idea to Charlie and Suchith and offered to
organize it in Finland some time in the early spring (February would
be best for me). University facilities for me at least are free and
I could even have some small support for it to pay the food for
example. Atlanta (Georgia Tech) would also be possible but it is of
course expensive for me to travel to USA and bringing my students is
problematic.<br>
<br>
European funding for this kind of thing is COST - the next
collection date is 30 March - so if we have a meeting in Feb, we
could also plan for a COST action. I think we could have a nice
group for a COST action if we get Nottingham, Girona, Trento and
possibly some others (what do you say?). I've not been in a COST
before so I have only superficial knowledge of it.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Ari<br>

We have an event scheduled May 21-23 @ Georgia Tech
Conference Center that might be good venue.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Would anyone be interested in having an OSGeo Educators<br>
workshop/conference sometime in 2012? </blockquote>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry for my silence -- I've been traveling a great deal
this month and cannot keep up with the influx of emails. I
think we should have our first OSGeo edu "virtual meeting"
about this idea.</div>
<div>I find myself wondering if some of us could collaborate
on one or multiple proposals somewhere to pay for workshop
participants to travel to such an event. For example -- US
or EU funding sources perhaps?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Phil, I think you said you had the capability to hold a
virtual meeting for our group? </div>
