[Board] next week's Board meeting

[Suchith Anand]

Hi All,

I have added an item on building more Educational collaboration with OGC (building up discussions at FOSS4G 2013) to the Board meeting wiki  for you all to discuss at the next board meeting at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2013-10-17 

Jeff, Anne and others present at both the informal OGC-OSGeo dinner meeting and OGC-OSGeo BoF meetings at Nottingham last month could update all and lead this discussion. The aim is to build more collaborations and synergies in geospatial education between OGC and OSGeo. Through the ICA-OSGeo labs Education initiative we will work more closely with OGC in making open standards education materials in GIS more  accessible to the wider community. Luis Bermudez (OGC) has done  excellent work on OGC Schools at GitHub and we are looking forward to working with him on extending this.

The OGC-OSGeo dinner meeting at FOSS4G 2013 was a good initiative and we should work together for more interaction with OGC and OSGeo. Mark Reichardt  has suggested scheduling regular quarterly virtual meetings between representatives of our organizations which i think is an excellent idea and need to be followed up.

Jeff, myself will be attending teleconference with Denise (OGC) on Thursday to follow up the discussions at Nottingham.Thanks.

Suchith

Thanks Jeff.
I suggest that, where appropriate, a person to lead a discussion point should put their name against the topic, as [First Last]. (The person need not be a board member).
