<p>John, I'm looping in the foss4g conference committee via our
public email list. I wouldn't be surprised if a few will jump in
with suggestions.<br>

<p> I'm hoping to be able to catch you tomorrow. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"

<p>There are multiple possibilities, and I'm
interested to gauge your level of interest and
ability to commit.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>1. I understand you have created a OSGeo workshop.
Do you still have access to the material? Are you
interested in sharing it? Ideally under some open
license. I assume the material will need to be
updated to the latest versions of software. Would
you be interested in helping do this? Would you be
ok with someone else updating your material? Would
you be interested in presenting at the FOSS4G
conference in Melbourne?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>2. For OSGeo workshops, there is potential to
tailor them to work within the cloud. Is there some
arrangement that could be set up to have free
student accounts to support this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>3. OSGeoLive is a Lubuntu linux distribution with
50 odd open source GIS applications + data + project
overviews and quickstarts. It is regularly used
within FOSS4G workshops, booted from a USB, Virtual
Machine (and sometimes from a DVD). It would be
great if we could extend it to work within the
cloud. I'm not sure how achievable this would be, or
how much work would be involved. It would be great
to tap into your experience in helping answer some
of these questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Hopefully there is a good business case for AWS to
support these initiatives. Effectively it would be
training GIS people how to use AWS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hi John,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks for getting back. Below are some of the
emails that we have been trading around the idea
of creating an OSGeo stack beginner workshop,
making use of OSGeoLive, and potentially taking
it all to the cloud.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It would be great to loop you in on these
conversations. As Shaun has noticed, you have
shown how to get OSGeo in the cloud in a
workshop. We'd be keen to work out how we can
build upon that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All the best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Cameron<o:p></o:p></p>

style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hi
folks,<br>
<br>
Shaun Kolomeitz and myself were recently
discussing the value that could <br>
be gained by setting up a "beginners OSGeo full
stack" workshop, which <br>
served multiple needs and communities.<br>
<br>
It would aim to help new users answer "when,
what and how should I use <br>
Open Source GIS".<br>
<br>
Initially we would target a workshop at
FOSS4G-Oceania [1] (in Melbourne <br>
Australia in November 2018)<br>
<br>
The aim would be to build upon OSGeo-Live [2],
with the intent that the <br>
training material would eventually become
distributed with OSGeo-Live. <br>
This brings the advantage that the training
course would be continually <br>
be getting updated with every software
distribution, and setup glitches <br>
would be significantly reduced because
everything would be pre-installed <br>
with OSGeo-Live.<br>
<br>
Ideally, we would be this course to be run on
the cloud. Again, the <br>
advantage here is that we would be taking
OSGeo-Live (along with OSGeo <br>
applications) into a cloud environment.<br>
<br>
In future versions, we would aim to team up with
geo4all, universities <br>
and educators, such that we can integrate
OSGeo-Live and courses, and <br>
help cross collaboration and maintenance between
projects, programmers <br>
and educators.<br>
<br>
The first thing we want to do is work out if
anyone is doing something <br>
similar, or have material we can make use of, or
have good ideas that we <br>
should incorporate, or who would like to join
us.<br>
<br>
Introducing Shaun:<br>
<br>
For those who don't know Shaun, he is someone
I've known for years. He <br>
has decades of experience with GIS, is an
advocate Open Source GIS, and <br>
is someone who has a track record of getting
things done.<br>

<p>Hey Shaun,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Have you had any luck connecting with
AWS? I just noticed that two of the
presenters live here in Australia.
Herman Coomans even lives in
Melbourne. I reckon we might be able
to convince them to come along to the
upcoming FOSS4G workshop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If you haven't reached out to them,
I'll do so now.<o:p></o:p></p>
