[OSGeo-Edu] Re: Peer to Peer University: Community GIS course

[Brylie Oxley]

I am continuing to develop the course and would appreciate any 
assistance from members of the OSGeo community.  The course is designed 
as a general overview and gentle introduction to GIS concepts, using 
libre/open source software. We currently need help with the following 
topics:

* Vector Graphics (basic)
* Raster Graphics (basic)
* Geographic Metadata, database tables, attribute structure
* Practical applications of GIS (e.g. emergency planning, city planning, 
environmental studies)
* Map projrctions, coordinate systems

We need simple explanations, graphics depicting concepts, and quick (pen 
and paper type) tasks to demonstrate the fundamentals of each concept.

Again, thank you all for your eagerness to educate the public about 
libre/open source GIS. All materials created at the Peer to Peer 
University are public domain (CC-by-SA).
