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

[Luis Bermudez]

Hi Cameron

I appreciate very much your great feedback.  I have created 4 issues  [1] in GitHub with your 4 concerns. We will be commenting on those as we make progress.

Question: Can you use the materials with the current structure for OSGeo-Live?
