[Australia] [Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo education outreach at FOSS4G2007]

[Tim Bowden]

>From the main osgeo list.  Perhaps there is something here we could do
for our '09 conf bid.  We'd like to get some engagement with UNSW
spacial sciences, but maybe that could go further- Sydney TAFE runs well
regarded surveying & town planning diplomas.  There must be some
opportunities to get some engagement with students in those disciplines.
Any ideas/comments?

Regards,
Tim

Has there been any discussion, by the OSGeo
Education Committee or elsewhere, about doing
any "education outreach" in conjunction with
the FOSS4G2007 conference in Victoria?

In particular, I had the idea that on Friday
September 28, 2007, there may be the possibility
for people who attended the conference to do some
"outreach".

Looking at the minutes of the last Education Committee
meeting, I see mention of post-secondary education, but
I wonder if there exists the possibility of educational
opportunities for Victoria K-12 schools(OK, maybe "K"
is a bit young, but you get my point :-)
