[OSGeo-Edu] OSGeo Edu Virtual meeting planning questions

[Mueller, Thomas]

Hello, I am know that I fairly new but I have an idea.



How about each region vote on a Education co - chairs?  So North America has a set of co - chairs, Europe, etc.  Each region has their own virtual meeting to discuss local issues and global issues.  Then there would be a virtual meeting of the co - chairs (and any others that could make it) on the global issues.  It would be easier

Charlie,
I'm in a tricky timezone for coordinating with EU and US (as I live in Australia).
However, I'd be very happy to talk with anyone who has ideas on how they would like to extend documentation development by leveraging the OSGeo-Live DVD [1].

This could include:
* Providing QA for our Quickstarts, which have been written, but not QAed.

* Create a video template, then create videos for all our OSGeo-Live projects. I see this being a 5 minute video, which would be largely based upon our 5 minute Quickstart.

* Development of a template for more comprehensive project cookbooks, or reference material. This would then be followed up with the writing of each of these project cookbooks.

* Develop a template for classroom presentation material, then follow through with creating this material.

Hi,

I started to make a Doodle poll to set a date/time for this meeting but as all know it is difficult to get a time that potentially everyone can make, if we have participants from many continents.
To figure the poll out, I need to get an idea of who wants to participate and where they are from.

Our first (of hopefully a once a month event) will focus on

1) Planning for a spring face-to-face meeting in Europe;
2) A workshop in the US (possibly May);
3) A possible tangible goal is to develop some kind of educational material that complements next year's LiveDVD.
4) Discussion about group governance and a possible election.

If you are interested in participating in this first virtual meeting, please go to [1] ASAP and add your name and location in the world to either the EU COST workshop or the US Workshop or both.
On the day after tomorrow, I'll develop a Doodle poll based on the locations of people listed on [1].

Thanks all

Charlie Schweik
