<p>Hi all. We can help in this. We can share our experience with Secondary students using FOSS4G software (gvSIG Batoví). Sadly it's not a matter of money in my case; it's a matter of time :-(. But I'm confident to find volunteers that can help us in this.<br>

<div>@Suchith: Thanks for your enthusiasm and energy! You are hard to keep up with! :-)</div>
<div>@Nikos: Great! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>@All: I've created an OSGeo wiki page to allow us as a community to identify a few labs willing to work collaboratively to develop FOSS4G-relevant educational content. We're trying to understand what courses various labs might be teaching in 2018, with
the idea of having 2 labs working collaboratively on developing shared, open access educational content. </div>

<div><b>If you are designing a class for next year, please add a row to this wiki table</b>:</div>

Dear Suchith, dear all,<br>
<br>
The last 20 years I have been working on digital cartography in order to build new approaches in school geography teaching. Having in mind mainly the needs of primary school teachers I have built numerous maps, working with proprietary software those days and
helping improve others like the Greek new school wall maps for primary and secondary schools in Greece. These maps have been awarded the Gold Metal not only for their construction but for their pedagogical view as well from the International Cartographic Association,
24th International Conference, Santiago, Chile, November, 16-21, in 2009.<br>
I will be glad to offer my experience in forming the new standards for teaching digital geography. My Lab is small but my students will be glad to help.<br>
<br>
best regards<br>
Nikos Lambrinos<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
We now have over 100 OSGeo labs and it is a great time to think innovative ideas for expanding research and teaching collaborations between our labs. Charlie Schweik gave an excellent webinar on "Can we develop collaborative educational and research ?" with
so many ideas for rapidly expanding joint collaborations between our labs. If you couldn’t attend the webinar the recording is at
<a href="https://youtu.be/dVCDME7cxUA" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/dVCDME7cxUA</a><br>
<br>
<br>
I am really hoping we follow up some ideas from this. The work that Charlie and Boston LOC did setting up the scholarworks is a big contribution to our whole community and all future FOSS4G LOCs. Charlie has put forward an excellent bigger aim for having
a system in place to collaboratively develop "GeoForAll Education Book" for different levels building upon the scholarworks system from FOSS4G Boston . I can see the benefit of this for the wider community. I volunteer myself to also help on the GeoForAll
Book idea (though I don’t have technical skills, I can volunteer for writing articles, editing etc as needed) , so we keep building upon this.<br>
<br>
But to make all these happen, we need team efforts. Charlie or myself won’t be able to do this but if we get volunteers from atleast 2 labs interested in working collaboratively, then we can move ahead. There is option to request for OSGeo Board funding
but ideally I would like to see if we can get volunteers willing to help with this. If there are no volunteers, then we can request a small budget for this (1000 USD) and put in an open call.<br>
<br>
If we can get some volunteers who want to work together on educational content, and be willing to do this because they are already doing this as part of their jobs, it will be ideal . The volunteers need to investigate platforms and come up with a suggested
system and suggested content structure standards, and to support 2-4 collaborative education projects between 2 or more labs. Then we would also issue the call for 2-lab educational collaboration proposals. Can I request any volunteers interested to help
in this to let me know . Thanks.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Suchith<br>
