[Board] Archiving FOSS4G Papers at ELoGeo

[Jo Cook]

Dear All,

One of the items on the agenda for yesterday's board meeting was to discuss
the archiving of FOSS4G papers on ELoGeo http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/.
This was brought up by Suchith Anand and Jeremy Morley at the Centre for
Geospatial Sciences at the University of Nottingham and I promised I would
raise it.

I'm strongly of the opinion that there are too many places where useful
material on open source gis, like case studies, academic papers, etc
are squirrelled away and that their overall impact is lessened because it's
impossible to know what material is out there. I would like to discuss the
possibility of OSGeo using a resource like ELoGeo for storing educational
material/papers etc- in effect that ELoGeo becomes our "go-to" repository
that we point people at.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Jo
