[OSGeo-Edu] Foss4G Denver -- a possible panel on education-related presentations?

[Charlie Schweik]

Hi folks,

I found myself thinking about FOSS4G in Denver. I'm wondering if we can 
put educational issues "more on the map" this year, if we tried to 
submit a coordinated proposal to the conference for a set of 
presentations (e.g., a session) on educational issues and FOSS4G.
http://2011.foss4g.org/presentations/.

One thought I had would be to hold a session that might have developers 
and OSGeo edu people in it and have a panel discussion about what holds 
us back from working in a more coordinated manner. I don't know if the 
conference organizers would embrace this idea, but I think something 
more than a BOF meeting would be a good idea.

So, if you have a topic related to this you would consider presenting, 
respond back to the group or email me individually.

In the meantime, I continue to try and get a first cut at a Desktop 
OSGeo Exercise Handbook using material I am teaching this semester to 
undergrads, and also to high school teachers. The problem is finding 
time to do this. If anyone has anything they'd like to contribute to 
that effort, please email me.

Thanks

Charlie
