Otherwise, maybe we can plan a «working meeting» in Girona (March
2012) in order to share ideas and experiences and to work together
to choose a funding program, and start to work to organize a
Edu-meeting in 2013 (scope, needs, actions, attendants, workshops,
...) and to get the real interest for a meeting like that, and to
know who really wants to be involved... Even without a funding
program, universities and institutions can be able to send a
delegate for one or two days in Girona in order to attend a «
preparatory working meeting». Then we can share and present this
project during the Spanish foss4g meeting (Jornadas de SIG Libre).

The deadline for abstracts is next Monday (21st). I have an idea for
an abstract for a thing that I'd like to present and a student of
mine would also be interested. However, the most important thing
would be the working meeting for OSGeo edu. In addition, I would be
very interested in a workshop/code sprint to look into developing
and packaging edu-oriented materials for the OSGeo live DVD/virtual
machine.<br>
<br>
The biggest question is, would we get a reasonable crowd to Girona
in March? Girona is good for us since flights to Barcelona are cheap
(current cheapest prices are 131 euros for the dates of the
conference).<br>
