[Geo4All] Geo4All GeoBadge meeting

[Christian Willmes]

Hello,

please excuse me for answering this late, I had my doctoral defense last 
week, and did not read my Geo4All mail (I filter them) until now.

I am honoured by suggesting me to attend the meeting, unfortunately I am 
not available at this Friday too.

But I am more than happy to collaborate on the wiki side of this aspect. 
I will work on the structured information of the OSGeo wiki in the 
coming weeks (I will have a talk at FOSS4G about this). And I am open 
for any suggestions for additional features and improvements, that may 
also benefit and include the GeoBadges initiative.

Best regards,
Christian

>> The Geo4All GeoBadge meeting has been scheduled for Friday, June 3 at 3:00 pm (EST) via UberConference. Myself, Nikos are confirmed to attend (hopefully Phil, Ela will also be able to join). If any of you wish to join this meeting, please let me know asap. Thanks.

>> To start with, i suggest that we could plan GeoBadges for our GeoAmbassador program for expanding Spatial Literacy and geographic awareness in Schools and universities globally. Once the MapStory platform is launched with new functionalities, we would be announcing our partnership with MapStory Foundation to plan spatial literacy for schools and universities globally to help build spatially thinking society. We need to have lot of GeoAmbassadors (who are all volunteers) to make this program a success. One way to acknowledge the contributions of our GeoAmbassadors is we provide GeoBadges for our Spatial Literacy GeoAmbassadors. All ideas welcome on how we can plan this.
