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

[Luis Bermudez]

Hi Charles

Unfortunately I will not be attending FOSS4G in Como.

Agree that further discussing the development process of educational material, including curation strategies, is an important topic. We should be thinking about continuing using code repositories (e.g. GitHub) to share material in simple formats (md or rst). Ideas for further discussion:
1) releasing/versioning process
2) code/tools to export to other platforms  (blackboard, moodle, etc.)

Please let me know what will be required from OGC to be a collaborator in the Urban Science and City Analytics proposal.
If the data listed in [1] is available via OGC standards, it will be great to have educational materials related to the use of those standards and a practical focused exercise, which I guess matches  the interest from you and Tom M.

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.
