We should be thinking about continuing using code repositories (e.g. GitHub) to share material in simple formats (md or rst). Ideas for further discussion:</div><div>1) releasing/versioning process</div><div>2) code/tools to export to other platforms (blackboard, moodle, etc.)</div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know what will be required from OGC to be a collaborator in the Urban Science and City Analytics proposal.</div><div>If the data listed in [1] is available via OGC standards, it will be great to have educational materials related to the use of those standards and a practical focused exercise, which I guess matches the interest from you and Tom M. </div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics</a></div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

(I'm copying the list, so others also know this is happening). </div><div><br></div><div>FYI, I, along with a number of other GeoForAll affiliated university faculty interested in Urban Science and City Analytics (see [1]) are far along on a collaborative grant proposal due in early September. The objective is to fund an international research and education collaboration over the next four years. If we land it, much of the funding will go toward travel support for co-located research and education meetings at the FOSS4G NA and FOSS4G global conferences, including an annual doctoral consortium.</div><div><br></div><div>One of the elements in this proposal is a collaborative platform for shared educational material. There are several possible options ahead. My questions:</div><div><br></div><div>1) By chance will you be at FOSS4G EU in Como? We will be meeting on Tuesday July 14th, 8:30-11:30 am. One agenda item will be discussing educational content curation strategies (see [2]), and sign up if you are coming!</div><div><br></div><div>2) Would you be open to us having further discussions about this with you and OGC and possibly listing you and OGC as a collaborator?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Charlie Schweik</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_UrbanScience_CityAnalytics</a></div><div>[2] <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Europe_2015_GeoForAll_Agenda">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Europe_2015_GeoForAll_Agenda</a> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 8:55 PM, Luis Bermudez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lbermudez@opengeospatial.org" target="_blank">lbermudez@opengeospatial.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">All,<div><br></div><div>We have made some progress developing OGC online training material.</div><div><br></div><div>I have updated the wiki to reflect the latest.
