[Ica-osgeo-labs] Technical Workshop in support of the UN OpenGIS Initiative

[Charlie Schweik]

Hi Maria,

Here is a slide for our GeoForAll lab. It has now grown from just UMass
Amherst to a collaboration between UMass, Amherst College and Smith College
(all are within 5 miles of each other) - which is great!

It also showcases a collaboration that we are doing with another GeoForAll
node -- Ron Fortunato and Trillium Learning.

What is interesting on the course side is my colleague Andy Anderson urged
us to use GitBook for the course content. It is an interesting direction
that we as a network could begin to use for sharing content perhaps and new
derivatives. But it requires learning the markup language so I worry that
will be a drag on some people's willingness to contribute.

Sorry - no nice pictures included but could get you some if you need it.

Thanks for flying the flag!

Charlie
