Hi
I am not working on web-based GIS syllabi for university level teaching but
am developing lessons and syllabi for secondary and A-Level geography
teaching in the UK. Not sure if anything of what I am doing/proposing to do
would be of any help, feel free to get in touch if anyone considers that it
would be.
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Jorge, others,
One thing which would be very valuable would be to align development of
GIS training material with the OSGeo-Live build process. Probably
incorporate training material in the documentation at:
http://live.osgeo.org
This could be collaboratively developed and continually updated by both
project teams, training institutes, and our existing teams of translators.
Jorge, it looks like you have a good start on this. I'd be interested to
see how we could link with OSGeo-Live.
Warm Regards, Cameron

Hi everyone,
One thing I was thinking about is that there are a lot of things under
construction or a lot of action by the members of OSGeo and it is not so
convenient to look for the past emails to find out who is doing what or what
is coming next.
What do you think about publishing a Newsletter for the actions and news of
the Community?
Have a nice day

Hi Nikos,
This is a great idea. Newsletter will be a good benifit to the community.
If you or anyone in the community wish to take this initiative, it will be
great.
In fact, all our email archives are available publically at
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ica-osgeo-labs/ so it just need someone
with some editorial skills to bring together key items and publish as a
newsletter for the community. I am sure once we start, we can build upon
this with feedbacks/inputs from others, use the same template for monthly
newsletters etc. Just need a lead editor for this. Please come forward if
anyone can help with this.
Suchith

Hi Silvia,
Thank you for this. Please email the zip folder with all logos to myself
(suchith.anand at nottingham.ac.uk) and Jason Sadler (jds at geodata.soton.ac.uk),
so we can make this available in our website. Thanks.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Good morning
sorry for the delay I was out of the office in these days,
If it's ok for you I can provide a .PNG format for web use in RGB color with
transparent background in all the sizes you asked in the email.
I'll provide also an editable PDF file in CMYK vectors for print use
And I can also send you the .AI format and an .EPS one
Finally I'll create the SVG version
As soon as possible I will send you a zip folder
Please can you give me the right email address to send it all?
Thank you very much
Best regards
Silvia

Hi,
Yes, for OSGeo-Live, we are asking for logos as 125x125 pixels with
transparent background, but I suggest that you should provide multiple
standard sizes of the logo, including an SVG vector version which can be
scaled later.
I can't find a good authoritative source for icon/logo sizes, but this is
probably as good as any:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Icon_Image_format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_%28file_format%29
There suggest image sizes of: 16 ? 16, 32 ? 32, 48 ? 48, 128 ? 128, 256 ?
256, 512 ? 512, and 1024 ? 1024 pixels
If you can find a better source, I'd like to know.
Warm regards, Cameron

the logo to fit with the guidelines

Sergio, thank you for following this up :)
Colleagues, we now have our "Geo for All" logo based on the maximum no. of
votes. From the results GEO4All_3 logo is the clear winner with maximum
votes. I thank everyone who contributed the logos. In fact, we didnt plan to
have a logo competition but thanks to the community who started sending
logos we decided to have a competition to find the winning logo. It was also
a great opportunity to see the enthusiam of the community and i thank each
and everyone who contributed the logos. For me all the logos are winners. I
also thank Massimo Di Stefano for setting up the voting system to help us
find the most popular logo.
Now the difficult part is that i dont remember (i am getting few grey hair
in my head which is God's message to me that i am getting older :)) who send
this logo 3! So please let me know.
It is also great timing to announce this logo for "Geo for All" as it
encapsulates our ideas for "Geo for All" for the service for the betterment
of humanity and build synergies with the UN Millennium Development Goals
based on initial ideas at
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ica-osgeo-labs/2015-May/001610.html

Dear Colleagues,
As you all know "Geo for All" http://www.geoforall.org started from very
humble beginnings but the idea expanded rapidly beyond any of our
expectations thanks to the amazing support of our academic colleagues
worldwide who all joined forces in our mission for making geospatial
education and opportunities accessible to all.
There were specific objectives (both academic and societal) that we all were
able to achieve in a very short time thanks to the efforts of our amazing
colleagues
* Establish Open Geospatial Science as a discipline (academic journals,
journal special issues , conferences proceedings etc)
* Enable Openness in Geospatial Education (University programs, MOOCs ,
summer schools, training programs etc)
* Establish Open Source Geospatial Labs in universities worldwide to build
firm foundations and expand the discipline
So it is now time for us to have a logo which encapsulates our mission,
vision and what we all stand for .
So thank you to all colleagues who send some amazing logos for us to choose
and to Massimo Di Stefano for setting up the voting system to help us find
the most popular logo, before 20th May 2015 .Each each person has 3 votes
to use as they choose amongst their top choices, with stronger preferences
getting more of their allotment .
Please vote your favourite logos before 20th May 2015 at
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/epifanio/656c7eb86d799c8b1fe3/GEO4ALL%20Logo%20context.ipynb
The logo with the maximum votes will be selected as our logo.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Hi Charlie, hi Andy,
Last year I've started (but not finished) a web gis course, based on OSGeo
Live.
My goal was to create a course that could be translated to different
languages, and always using local data.
I've created http://mapmaking.info/ to setup the course. I've just created
contents for chinese students, using chinese data (but I didn't had time to
write it in mandarim, so it is still in english). Now I'm translating the
course to portuguese, using data from Portugal.
My suggestion is to use administrative data for some global source like:
* http://www.gadm.org/
* http://gdem.ersdac.jspacesystems.or.jp/
* OSM planet extracts
Every student would use the same technologies, the same algoritms, but using
data that has some meaning for them. Those interested in teaching the course
to a new community would have to translate the contents and to provide the
equivalent datasets related with the community.
We already have tons of open source software available in different
languagues and amazing data from all around the globe. It is time to create
powerful contens "Think globally" adapted to local learning communities "act
locally".
As a minor note, whenever possible, we should align our syllabus with the
BoK, despite web gis being the weakest BoK topic.
