Dear colleagues,

regarding topic 1a. Certification I suggest to include a short presentation by Tanzeel Khan, one of our students, jabout the results of his Master's thesis about an OS Certification Model, co-supervised by Phil.

You still can contribute your valuable suggestions for his work by this questionaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FPvv_QgR8zMCdFzqGgrm5zLT8KvC7j4VTmXTtflYnGk/viewform?edit_requested=true

Viele Grüße / Best regards

Hi Jeff, all:

Thanks for the update. I'm guessing that was Phil Davis (USA) there and not me, or a different Charlie, since sadly, I wasn't there! ;-)

Reminder for those going to FOSS4G EU in Como in July - below is the full GeoForAll meeting times. Mark your calendars!

****************************************************************************

1) Tuesday July 14th, 8:30-11:30 am - GeoForAll pre-conference meeting. hall of Via Natta building. Topics:

1a. Certification: Phil Davis has agreed to give us an update on where we are on the certification discussion and lead further discussion on that topic. (Thanks Phil)
1b. Educational content curation strategies
1c. GeoForAll and its connection to firms.

That's probably enough -- but if anyone has any other pressing issues while some of us are together let me know.

2) Thursday July 16th, 5:30 room 3.5 at Politecnico di Milano -- GeoForAll Europe meeting.
(This is a good idea... any other regions have a group attending and want to meet up?)

3) Friday July 17th, 12:00-13:00 room 3.6 -- GeoForAll Bird's of a Feather

Open session to plan our collective activities after reflecting on the conference experiences

4) Saturday July 18th - 8:30-11:30 hall of Via Natta building -- GeoForAll 'Grant Sprint'

- Some focus on the US SmartCity grant proposal, hopefully at least another one focused on Europe.
- If anyone is thinking about responding to a call to support our group and will be there, let me (Charlie) know.

Cheers,
Charlie Schweik

Good idea Marie and Anne.

Today at the QGIS conference about 10 educators met separately, for about 2 hours, including Ela (Poland), Charlie (USA), myself...  It was a good meeting, and mostly focused on the QGIS community's need for certification.  This obviously has lots of overlap with GeoForAll, and OSGeo..and I hope we can continue this discussion/plan in Como.
