[OSGeo-Edu] [OSGeo-Discuss] Maps and the Geospatial Revolution from Jul 17th 2013 at Coursera

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Anthony,
As per emails below, you can see that people have been talking about 
your "Maps and the Geospatial Revolution" course within the Open Source 
Geospatial communities.

Are you aware of the OSGeo-Live USB/DVD/Virtual Machine?
http://live.osgeo.org
OSGeo-Live provides a distribution of 50 of the best Geospatial Open 
Source applications all preinstalled and configured with sample data, 
ready for use in courses such as yours. It also includes Project 
Overviews and Quickstarts for all these applications: 
http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html

I'm CCing the OSGeo Education email list, which are also doing great 
things. In particular, they have been building up a network of Open 
Source Geospatial Labs within Universities around the world.
