That is an interesting task for me to do, I
 Like to automate legwork tasks. I will go back to Mexico on Sept 4. We can discuss details a week later, I will need to catch-up work.
Regards.

Colleagues,

For checking and keeping the GeoForAll website links  and updating on a monthly basis (Training, Resources, Events) in the main GeoForAll page as well as  the following links below what is the best way?

https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/in-your-research/

https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/for-your-class-project/

Can we make use the information in monthly GeoForAll newsletter to update this (esp. Training, Events).

Nikos - please share your ideas on this. Thanks.

For someone who has experience of OSGeo website updating , roughly how many hours work will this be?

All ideas welcome.

Yes, Thank you to all who send interest already. I would like to get advice from GeoForAll chair and OSGeo website team first before I respond.

Ideally it will be good to have 2 or 3 volunteers who already have experience in working in OSGeo website for this. So if there is anyone who has experience/knowledge of OSGeo website updating please send me your interest by 30th Aug. Thanks.

Best wishes

Suchith

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] Volunteers needed for updating GeoForAll website links

Colleagues,

Our website links and resources are key for helping us expand GeoEducation for all esp. for the economically poor . I noticed that  that many of the links are not working https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/

https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/in-your-classroom/

For example FOSS4G GeoAcademy Curriculum links are not working.

Could I request one or two kind volunteers who have experience of OSGeo website updating to please help keep the GeoForAll website links updated on a  monthly basis.  Your help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer for this. Thanks.

May I also request colleagues who have information on freely available online  training programs, courses etc to please share the information in the GeoForAll maillist, so this information can be added to the website, newsletters etc

GeoForAll has partnerships with like minded organisations UCGIS, AGILE, YouthMappers etc, so we can share any  links of educational resources also .

For example YouthMappers TeachOSM is a good resource link that can be added to GeoForAll website

https://teachosm.org

Please share your ideas for improving the website. Thanks.

Best wishes

Suchith
