[Ica-osgeo-labs] Open Education Week (9-13 March 2015): Call for Participation - Spread the News and Participate

Sat Feb 7 06:42:13 PST 2015

Hi... I like this idea, but maybe tone down the name a little? How about

1)'Foss4g professor of the year'

Or

2) 'Geoforall professor of the year'

Or broaden to

3) 'Geoforall teacher of the year'?

My two cents. Cheers,

Charlie
