[Belgium] Interest in academic reflection and inter-university pedagogy on open source software in geomatics ?

[Maelle Vercauteren]

Hello,

As you know, we launched an academic reflection and interuniversity
teaching on open source software in geomatics.

A first f2f meeting took place on February 16, 2017 and you can find here
the *minutes with the actions that we intend to carry out* [1]

For information, a next face-to-face meeting is planned for June / August
or September at the ULB (Solbosch campus).
The idea is to organize a Hackathon and to finalize the program of a *special
session "FOOS4GeoEducation" at FOSS4G.be 2017, which will take place on
Thursday 26th October. (! Save the date !)*
Thank you for relaying the information to people who might be interested in
the initiative and to note your availability regarding the choice of time
and date. [2]

If you would like to give your opinion and / or be kept informed of the
discussions that will be carried out and the activities that the reflection
plans to implement, you can let us know.

Kind Regards,

Moritz and Maë//e

> Dear all,
>
> We would like to launch an academic and pedagogical reflection between
> universities on open source software in geomatics.
>
> Some people have already given enthusiastic feedback, so we decided to set
> a date to meet on *Thursday February 16 at 10 am in ULB *(local DC6.121
> (6th floor of Building D, Solbosch campus) : https://www.ulb.ac.be/campus/
> solbosch/plan-D.html
>
> It would be a first preparatory meeting with academic people from UGent,
> VUB, ULB, Ulg-Arlon, UNamur en UCL.
>
>
> Do not hesitate to circulate the information to your contacts who would be
> interested.
>
>
>
> The organization of the reflection and the objectives will depend strongly
> on the feedbacks. The idea is to arrive at a concrete reflection for the
> FOSS4G.be 2017.
>
>
> On this topic, there are several subjects that we hold dear to the
> OSGeo.be and the ULB... they are (in disorder):
>
>
> - to organize a special "GIS education" session at the next foss4g.be and
> discuss its content together.
>
> - to have exchanges of experience throughout the year on this theme (2-3
> meetings / year)
>
> - to fit into the existing efforts of Geo4all <http://www.geoforall.org/> en/or
> Copernicus Academy Network
>
> - to share teaching materials and discuss the setting up of a web platform
> where everyone could deposit his material
>
> - to create material with Belgian data which would therefore speak more
> particularly to students (and which would allow to highlight Belgian open
> data)
>
>
> There are at least 5 subjects that are quite large, but look stimulating
> and that we can talk more concretely about during the meeting.
>
>
> If you already want to write us your suggestions, do not hesitate.
>
> After the meeting, if the feedback is positive, we wil circulate a
> discussion paper about the implementation of this project in the general
> mailinglist !
>
>
> It is our pleasure to soon be able to discuss these topics,
>
