[Ica-osgeo-labs] OpenGIS Webinar Series

[Suchith Anand]

Hi all,

We have now an excellent opportunity to jointly organise  a webinar program in collaboration with MundoGeo. The aim is to have one webinar a month. It will be 45 minutes of presentation followed by 15 min Q& A. It is an excellent opportunity to promote OpenGIS in education globally and we need all of you to contribute topics of your interest for the webinar program. For example from Nottingham we will be happy to deliver a webinar on Open Data with focus on Open Street Map -GB example  or Education resources for Open Geospatial with ELOGeo as example etc. Similarly if all of you can email me your  topics which you will be happy to do webinar, it will help me prepare a course structure for our webinar program. Could i request you all to email your topic suggestions by 30 August, so we can finalise the webinar program in Sep. Thanks.

Suchith

Hi Eduardo,

Thanks for the support and we will be happy to jointly run the monthly webinar in English with MundoGeo.  The statistics of your webinar program for Latin America is impressive and we will work with you to broaden this for the benefit of the wider community. Ideally, it will be good to plan the webinar timetable to run at the same time every month (for example - First Wednesday of every month at 14:00 UTC) for ease of planning ahead and also will get webinar times it in everyone calendars in advance. I will discuss this with all our lab colleagues will email you with the timetable (first webinar aimed in October 2013).

It will be good to plan to have a holistic webinar program comprising of Open Source Geospatial software, Open Data and Open Standards (OGC, ISO TC211) topics in addition to specific usecases in GIS  using open source (in Transport, HealthGIS, AgriGIS etc) and fundamental research (automated generalisation, geospatial semantics  etc). I will discuss with all and put together a webinar program and structure for next 6 months .

I look forward to work with you on this.

Suchith

Hi Suchith

Thanks for your kind words about the gvSIG webinar.

On behalf of MundoGEO, I confirm that we are strongly interested in running a webinar series together with you, in English.

I would like to remind you that our webinars have very good numbers in Latin/Ibero America (average per event: 1.500 registrants/800 attendees in Portuguese, 1.200 registrants/650 attendees in Spanish), but in English we are starting now (the gvSIG webinar had 587 registrants/265 attendees). We are going to promote the webinars through our channels (web portal, magazine, social media, discussion lists), but your support will be important to spread the information worldwide.

Let's think about the agenda for the next months. We have few dates available for september (see below), but for october and beyond there are more free dates.

September: 4, 13, 18
October: all days, except 17, 23, 24
November: all days, except 20
December: all days, except 5
Usually, the webinars are held on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, at 2:00 PM GMT (UTC)

Hi Eduardo,

Thank you for excellent organisation of the gvSIG webinar on Monday. I think  webinars are an excellent platform for the education outreach activities of the ICA-OSGeo Labs and would like to explore the possibility to joint running of a monthly webinar series with you.

Within our team, we have an excellent spread of expertise that can be used for this to cover various topics. Let me know your thoughts on this and we can plan to put together a strong webinar series which is open and free to all interested to join. The majority of webinars will be in English  for maximum outreach globally.

I look forward to hear from you.
