The main update is that we are now in the process of building up new functionalities for ELOGeo <a href="http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/">http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/</a> including developing mapping functionalities for Xerte (which is full suite of open source tools for elearning developers and content authors producing interactive learning materials. Details at <a href="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/">http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/</a> ). The aim is to make this available for lecturers in other disciplines to teach mapping concepts who have very little knowledge of GIS (for example in economics, forestry etc ).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jo, hopefully you will be able to give update on the FOSS4G 2013 UK bid plans.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Draft agenda below<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Date - 27th Feb 2012<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Time - 13:00-14:00 <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Draft Agenda<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1.
