Thanks Kurt. That is excellent info.
Could you please try and attend the telemeeting that Luis is organising, so we can discuss details. Please complete the doodle poll at http://doodle.com/w5sr533xn95ryswu7c9s59mk/admin#table so luis can find the best time convenient for all. Thanks.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Hello all,
I've been covering OGC protocols and standards in my Intro to Open Source
GIS and Web Mapping course for the past six years. These are critical
concepts to anyone wanting to work in the web environment. The standards and
protocols are very well documented. I can also share any material I have
which includes a lecture and two labs on the topic.

Hi Suchith, Cameron and all,
I'm very happy to see this dialog.
Now that I have been officially appointed (tasked), I want to leverage,
contribute and help move forward e-learning material related to OGC
standards.
I'm wondering, is it worth to schedule a telecon about the next steps?
Best Regards.

Brandt,
Once we have an "All Systems Go!" we'll need a couple weeks to prepare.
So the earliest date, given Suchith's concurrence, is early April.
We are still trying to gauge level of interest. So far we have . . .

Patrick and others,
Really appreciate the recognition and interest in youth involvement -
empowering future generations and supporting the wonderful people who
dedicate their lives to such important and demanding work is the ultimate
goal. The greatest honor is serving the future steward of this precious
planet. Please let me know should there be opportunities to engage
pre-college students.
9:00AM pacific time works well. Have any dates been proposed? A few key
people from our site will be out next week during spring break.
Look forward to the webinars.
Thank you for your time,
Brandt

Nikos and Others,
Thanks for your response and interesting suggestion.
There is no reason why we shouldn't challenge all students, given their
interest, to make a contribution to society via FOSS4G. The modular
componentry architecture for World Wind code is essentially the same across
all versions, Java, Android and iOS. The new web version in JavaScript will
be no different. And all World Wind code contains plenty of examples. So it
is an excellent platform to teach with.
For teaching World Wind Java, this should be of help,
http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/guidance. The current JavaScript
examples, though meager in terms of the final code, are each also a good
teaching exercise.
That said, though this first webinar will be fairly qualitative and
therefore mostly non-technical, any successive webinar, though fundamental,
will be purely technical. So, depending on the interest and skill of the
student, could certainly help to advance their skill, and provide a template
for good software architecture.
Tomorrow's world needs our children to be as well-equipped as possible.
Whatever we can do to accelerate that is dearly needed. Our teachers have
the most important job in the world! Good luck!!!
Would 9AM Pacific time be a reasonable enough hour?

Dear Patrick,
I will be glad to join the webinar.
As a primary school teacher trainer I would like to ask if you think that
the webinar will be simple enough so primary school teachers and
undergraduate student teachers could also join. In this case I could
motivate a number of teachers and my students.
Have you decided on what exactly the webinar will cover?
Please take into account the time difference or let us download the webinar
later.

Hi,
Great Luis! I hope to attend a discussion if I can fit it in. One general
point of encouragement:
*The GeoForAll community should not lose the sight of our long-standing goal
of developing a library of educational modules that we can all potentially
use in our classes*. So in the OGC standards case, I urge you Luis, or
whoever else might develop content, to develop it under a Creative Commons
license and either as video (e.g., recorded webinar), text content (that
would allow for future new derivatives or translations), or even audio
recordings if need-be that we educators can use as modules in various
courses.
This brings us back to the long-standing issue of a GeoForAll\OSGeo
educational *content repository*. We still have the older metadata
inventory system operational [1], and I've got a ticket request in to the
OSGeo website team get the input form [2] up and running again. And the
GeoAcademy has created a GitHub repository for storing content [3]. With
their permission, we should work on a simple tutorial that outlines to
content authors how to submit the course module metadata in [2], and then
upload the course content under [3], and develop some kind of "badge"
system or regular "GeoForAll educational journal" with links to this content
for acknowledging and incentivizing author contributions.
Finally, Maria Brovelli and I are talking this week, planning for a
GeoForAll meeting at FOSS4G, where we can take up this and other topics.
Cheers,
Charlie
