<div dir="ltr"><div>Two comments from my end:</div><div><br></div><div>1) One connection returns to our ongoing quest to build a working educational content inventory system for education that is on the web. So connecting that idea to the material that Cameron and others have been maintaining on the Live DVD production process is important. This will be an important issue we take on at FOSS4G EU in Como in July. So Massimo, you could help us in this context, potentially.</div><div><br></div><div>2) Open source web GIS class</div><div><br></div><div>On my end, *I may* be co-teaching a web-GIS class at UMass next spring. Not yet sure, and my collaborators and I aren't sure what technologies we would use for student projects. But if open source web-GIS is something you might do, and if I do end up designing a course, I could potentially help review your material.</div><div><br></div><div>Others? I agree with Cameron -- a nice opportunity here potentially.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Charlie Schweik</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 4:46 AM, Cameron Shorter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cameron.shorter@gmail.com" target="_blank">cameron.shorter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi OSGeo Education folk and Massimo,<br>
<br>
Massimo, I think your Google Summer Of Code education idea is very compelling. As you are aware, I've volunteered to mentor from an OSGeo-Live perspective.<br>
<br>
What I find incredibly compelling about your idea is that you are proposing to provide technical material to be used directly by OSGeo Educators. However, what is missing is endorsement from a number of educators validating that the material created will be used.<br>
<br>
OSGeo educators, please do step up if you can, and say:<br>
"This proposal will result in material that I expect to use within my OSGeo training course(s) XXX. I volunteer to help Massimo define the scope of material to cover."<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Cameron<br>

<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
sorry for any cross-posting,<br>
<br>
I’m applying as Google Summer of Code student for the OSgeo-Live project.<br>
My idea, described here [1], focus on free and open source software for education, so i thought it can be of interest to this list.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your valuable feedback,<br>
<br>
Massimo.<br>
