[Geo4All] [geoforall-ab] Rafael slides for Geo4All presentation at Higher Education Summit

[Suchith Anand]

Rafael,

Thanks for sharing this updates. It is also a great way to keep the Geo4All overview presentation slides updated with the latest info. I suggest that with both global and regional FOSS4G events taking firm shape, we can highlight these also in the overview slides. For example for presentation in USA, it will be good to have a slide on FOSS4G Global and FOSS4G-NA  so the local communities can connect.

Also we need to think ideas on which will be best way to get these slides kept updated easily.  Last week at University of Nottingham we ran a spring school for MULTI-POS which is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN), funded by the European Commission http://www.multi-pos.eu/  and i presented a lecture on Open Geospatial Science showing Geo4All. One of my colleagues Lukasz Bonenberg (cc in) did an excellent lecture on Reproducible Research and why to do it (showing github as example). I will request Lukasz help for us to get the latest version of the overview files in github (we can then link it with our website) so it is easy for anyone to keep updating and those presenting Geo4All will always have the latest slides.

Lukasz - can you please help us with this? Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi everyone,
I hope this email finds you well.

I am preparing a presentation about Geo4All for a Summit on GIS in Higher Education in Colorado.
In the FOSS4G panel and track we will be discussing the need to expand education on FOSS4G and using FOSS4G in research at universities and community colleges.

I have several materials but I would appreciate your help with the latest information to incorporate into the presentation.
For example, Maria Brovelli recently collected slides from several labs for the UN presentation.

Slides in Open Office or MS PowerPoint format work.
I will give credits to contributors and send you presentation when done.

Thank you in advance for your attention and help.

Rafael
