[Geo4All] Open Educational Resources on OSGeo / Open Science 101

[Alexander Kmoch]

Hi Adam, Peter,

thanks for digging this all up again.

With my hats as University educator (and researcher) I use and teach a 
lot of the open source geo-goodness (primarily QGIS, geospatial Python, 
Pangeo, a bit of PostGIS) and my hat from the OGC University domain 
working group, I would warmly welcome those efforts and promote this on 
our networks as well, including the EO4GEO alliance in Europe.

How can I help?

Best regards,
Alex
