<p>Hello, I am know that I fairly new but I have an idea.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How about each region vote on a Education co - chairs? So North America has a set of co - chairs, Europe, etc. Each region has their own virtual meeting to discuss local issues and global issues. Then there would be a virtual meeting of the co - chairs
(and any others that could make it) on the global issues. It would be easier </p>

I'm in a tricky timezone for coordinating with EU and US (as I live in Australia).<br>
However, I'd be very happy to talk with anyone who has ideas on how they would like to extend documentation development by leveraging the OSGeo-Live DVD [1].<br>
<br>
This could include:<br>
* Providing QA for our Quickstarts, which have been written, but not QAed.<br>
<br>
* Create a video template, then create videos for all our OSGeo-Live projects. I see this being a 5 minute video, which would be largely based upon our 5 minute Quickstart.<br>
<br>
* Development of a template for more comprehensive project cookbooks, or reference material. This would then be followed up with the writing of each of these project cookbooks.<br>
<br>
* Develop a template for classroom presentation material, then follow through with creating this material.<br>

<div>I started to make a Doodle poll to set a date/time for this meeting but as all know it is difficult to get a time that potentially everyone can make, if we have participants from many continents. </div>
<div>To figure the poll out, I need to get an idea of who wants to participate and where they are from. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our first (of hopefully a once a month event) will focus on </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Planning for a spring face-to-face meeting in Europe; </div>
<div>2) A workshop in the US (possibly May); </div>
<div>3) A possible tangible goal is to develop some kind of educational material that complements next year's LiveDVD. </div>
</div>
<div>4) Discussion about group governance and a possible election. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you are interested in participating in this first virtual meeting, please go to [1] ASAP and add your name and location in the world to either the EU COST workshop or the US Workshop or both.</div>
<div>On the day after tomorrow, I'll develop a Doodle poll based on the locations of people listed on [1]. </div>

</div>
<div>Thanks all</div>
