[Ica-osgeo-labs] Scholarships

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Jeroen,

This is excellent and thank you and GeoCat for this. We will now setup a committee for ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS labs student travel awards to help with this.

All - this is a call for participants (we need 5 of you including a chair) to be part of this Award committee and setup procedures for student applications and evaluvation.

Hi Jeff,
Good you bring this up! I've been thinking about such thing for a long time and discussed it within a small group of friends back than. GeoCat would be willing to sponsor such type of thing. I would like to see that have the form of a competition where it would be great if ICA OSGeo labs would assist with the process of student applications and evaluation to come to a winner, second and third prize. First prize could indeed be a trip to the FOSS4G conference to receive the prize and present the winning work. If this is of interest I'm available to discuss details.
Greetings,
Jeroen

The award would be given to a student who promotes Open Geospatial in their education and research, and would be done in the name of the supporting organizations (ICA, ISPRS, OSGeo).
