[OSGeo-Edu] Denver "Content Sprint" ideas

[Daniel Ames]

Charlie,

Slightly off topic but not really... Since your last email about educational
content, we've started building a set of tutorials for the DotNet
programmers on how to use the new open source DotSpatial library for
building custom apps. Right now we've got four tutorials all based on
desktop applications, but we're generating one per week (so I can use them
in my GIS programming class!) and will be adding web (ASP.NET) tutorials as
well and would like to some how contribute these to the broader edu effort.

http://dotspatial.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=DotSpatial%20Tutorials&referringTitle=Documentation

I'm not sure what the next step is other than to continue to generate the
tutorials and keep posting them online. I do have one question though...
what is the proper way to copyright these such that they can be used freely
by anyone for any purpose? I'm pretty familiar with the different OS
licenses, but am still naive on the various open copyrights.

I think it would make  a lot of sense if I followed the same series of exercises that the other web-based projects are proposing.
