By no means a comprehensive list but I realize I forgot a few names 
immediately. Apologies to anyone I've missed, in some ways it's a good 
thing that I can't count the number of options on one hand.

San Diego State - Ming Tsou
Somewhere in England - Haklay
Univ Nottingham - Suchith Anand
Canada - Thierry Badard

I want to say there are a couple of universities with official MOUs with 
OSGeo besides Nottingham but I can't recall right now which.

Thanks,
Alex
