[Ica-osgeo-labs] Update on OGC E-Learning material

[Charles Schweik]

Hi Luis,

This looks very interesting and important. (I'm copying the list, so others
also know this is happening).

FYI, I, along with a number of other GeoForAll affiliated university
faculty interested in Urban Science and City Analytics (see [1]) are far
along on a collaborative grant proposal due in early September. The
objective is to fund an international research and education collaboration
over the next four years. If we land it, much of the funding will go toward
travel support for co-located research and education meetings at the FOSS4G
NA and FOSS4G global conferences, including an annual doctoral consortium.

One of the elements in this proposal is a collaborative platform for shared
educational material. There are several possible options ahead. My
questions:

1) By chance will you be at FOSS4G EU in Como? We will be meeting on
Tuesday July 14th, 8:30-11:30 am. One agenda item will be discussing
educational content curation strategies (see [2]), and sign up if you are
coming!

2) Would you be open to us having further discussions about this with you
and OGC and possibly listing you and OGC as a collaborator?

Cheers,
Charlie Schweik
