[OSGeo-Conf] "OSGeo Teach-in" event proposal

[Arnulf Christl]

Edu, 
the discussion around creating an "OSGeo Teach-in" brand or OSGeo-coordinated event may be interesting to this committee. If you are interested please feel free to join the discussion that has currently been taken on by the conference committee. I suggest you join the conference mailing list for the time being to avoid lots of cross mails.

It was initially discussed a little too hotly (my bad) and we are now trying to find a way how to decide which option works best for OSGeo and any interested businesses and to subsequently develop a policy on how to do it. Until now Edu has not been addressed directly but as tutorials, educational material, teaching courses, etc. are concerned I could imagine some interest here. 

In case you don't know what I am talking about I have compiled some links to explain the background:
