[Ica-osgeo-labs] OSGeo-Live - GSoC 2015

[Charles Schweik]

Two comments from my end:

1) One connection returns to our ongoing quest to build a working
educational content inventory system for education that is on the web. So
connecting that idea to the material that Cameron and others have been
maintaining on the Live DVD production process is important. This will be
an important issue we take on at FOSS4G EU in Como in July. So Massimo, you
could help us in this context, potentially.

2) Open source web GIS class

On my end, *I may* be co-teaching a web-GIS class at UMass next spring. Not
yet sure, and my collaborators and I aren't sure what technologies we would
use for student projects. But if open source web-GIS is something you might
do, and if I do end up designing a course, I could potentially help review
your material.

Others? I agree with Cameron -- a nice opportunity here potentially.

Cheers,
Charlie Schweik
