[OSGeo-Edu] Preparing for our virtual call - Friday, Dec 9th at 15:00 UTC

[Charles Schweik]

Hi OSGeo edu folks:

1) I forgot to close the poll and there continues to be people adding
to the Doodle poll for our meeting. Just to confirm - our meeting is
set for 15:00 (or 3pm) UTC.

2) Phil Davis is working on setting up the virtual meeting platform
and we will send out instructions sometime later this week. Stay
tuned. (Thanks in advance Phil!)

3) We have a lot to talk about. I think we should keep this meeting to
1-hour. A tentative agenda is this listed at the bottom of [1] (I've
also copied them below). If anyone has suggested changes, update the
wiki page [1] or email me.

VIRTUAL MEETING AGENDA

A) EU-COST edu workshop idea initiated by Ari. Goals for the workshop?
Efforts to secure funding? Location/timing? People leading the effort
and next steps. [Led by Ari]
B) US edu workshop (possibly in May?). Phil Davis and others. Goals
for this workshop? Efforts to secure funding? Location/timing? People
leading the effort and next steps. [Led by Phil]
C) Academic Track planning for FOSS4G 2012. [Led by Suchith]
D) Discussion of group governance and the proposal to have "regional
OSGeo edu co-chairs" who would make up an "OSGeo edu steering
committee." Goal here is to come to some consensus on new governance
design and whether we need some kind of election or just embrace
volunteers for regional positions and then take the idea back to this
list for a vote. [Led by Charlie]

4) Finally, could someone who is attending this meeting volunteer to
act as the secretary of the meeting (take notes) if we need it?

Thanks all -- more soon on how to get to the virtual meeting.

Cheers

Charlie
