[Ica-osgeo-labs] OSGeo Student Awards - please join the maillist and contribute your ideas

[Suchith Anand]

Hi All,

Thanks to the OSGeo Board for support for the Student Awards [1] at FOSS4G conferences.

So it is now time for us to take actions for the next steps to get this started . It is important that we build strong foundations for this for expanding this for the future.

1. It is important that we start the discussions in an open mailling list specifically for this, so that all ideas are saved for future conference organisors and award committees. So may i request all chairs of FOSS4G conferences and  also wider community members who have interest in the Student awards initiative to subscribe and join the mailling list at http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geoforall-awards

2. I request the chairs of FOSS4G-Europe 2015 (Maria) http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2015  and FOSS4G 2015 Seoul (Sanghee) http://2015.foss4g.org/ to inform updates on the student awards planned at their events and get in touch with the OSGeo Treasurer for the $1000 USD allocation

All- please give your ideas/suggestions to make this Student Award program a great success.Thanks.

Suchith
