[OSGeo-Edu] [Fwd: ACM GIS 2009 - Call for Papers]

[Charlie Schweik]

Hi OSGeo Edu folks:

1) A possible conference of interest to people on this list.

2) I'd like to start an effort to connect better to OSGeo local groups 
or the software teams.  *As a first step, if you are a member of a local 
group, or a software development group,  please reply if you are willing 
to be our "connection" to that group.*

3) I'm having a great time right now teaching 60 undergrads an intro to 
GIS course using primarily QGIS. I'm wondering who else is having 
similar experiences. I'm thinking it might be useful for our group to 
establish a OSGeo edu blog that we all can post to, or maybe a twitter 
microblog group so that we can share short insights or links we might 
have with one another. Reactions?

4) Reminder: If you have material to share with others, please take a 
moment to add it to our new educational material inventory system [1]. 
The last ones were done by some of our colleagues in Italy (I hope all 
there are OK after the earthquake yesterday. I'm sure I speak fro the 
group when I say our thoughts are with your country at the time...)

Thanks all-

Charlie
