[Geo4All] [OSGeo-Discuss] Call for Volunteers for Geodata Committee

Sun Nov 26 08:22:01 PST 2017

Suchith,

We use a project management system, which is secure and collaborative; joint project tools need to meet (at least) the following requirements:
- Live chat - all team blog
- Project activities/workflow - threaded
- Task assignment scheduling/To-do lists, sub-threaded and capability to assign team members tasks along with due dates
- Scheduled reporting structure
- Calendar linked to task assignment lists
- Database for containment and review of all project data, documentation, media.

Let’s catch up; we have our labs in NY and Alaska working on collaborative projects utilizing these tools, as well as VTC.

Peter Mooney is the main contact for GeoForAll for the website migration/update plans . So if you can send this by 8th Dec, it will help us plan all this together. Thanks.

So his labs are working in concert. This WorldBridge enterprise involves multiples High Schools and at least one University. Ron has these ‘labs’ collaborating with each other building truly powerful apps.

I would like to volunteer to work for OSGeo Geodata Committee for linking ideas with the education aspects of Geodata. Just this month Charlie Schweik has given call in GeoForAll to identify 2-4 collaboration projects by at where at least 2-labs are collaborating on open access educational content they want to develop over 2018 and I think working on a project on GeoData aspects will be a great opportunity to link the education community ideas for this. So I will follow up this using geodata as an example and try to get colleagues in various GeoForAll labs working on this to come together . I am sure working together we can make this happen.
