<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi Patrick,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This is great idea that will help to further make impact in Openness in GeoEducation .<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Out of the 5k USD we have got allocated for ICA-OSGeo labs from OSGeo budget we have earmarked 3500 USD for website development requirements ( to be finalized with more inputs from all and OSGeo Board) and 1000 USD for NASA WW Challenge
student winner teams, so we still have 500 USD to plan some activity to further our aims.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So i suggest that we plan an award for the Course leader/Lecturer of the best Geospatial course ( online or class based) based on Open Principles . That will be a great way to honour and recognise the educators who made it possible and
will be an inspiration to others to build upon for future years. We will use the same Award Committee that we set up for the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS student awards to decide the best course based on nominations recieved to Charlie Schweik (chair of the Award Committee)
Email - <a href="mailto:cschweik@pubpol.umass.edu%3cmailto:cschweik@pubpol.umass.edu">
<span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">cschweik@pubpol.umass.edu<mailto:cschweik@pubpol.umass.edu</span></a>> before 28th Feb 2015. Please note that all members of the Award Committee
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.osuosl.org/wiki/Ica-osgeo-isprs_award"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">http://wiki.osgeo.osuosl.org/wiki/Ica-osgeo-isprs_award</span></a> will not be eligible even if they are running excellent programs - sorry
folks :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The Award will be announce on 9th March (start of Open Education Week) and given at FOSS4G Europe conference in Como. We will send a formal call on this Course leader Award soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We have some courses run by many universities in our list itself, so feel free to nominate those courses and we now have opportunity to recognise both the students and educators.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">How about an award for the best GIS course! Teachers need GIS love too!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">1. This can be the complete syllabus for the class, as open source! This would allow other teachers to benefit and improve the course (still open source). The next year's award might go to who has improved that course the most! This
is the beauty of open source, we continually rise to collectively-stand on each other's shoulders. And ^all^ of our students are the beneficiaries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2. And maybe another category for best ^online^ GIS course (open source of course).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">3. And maybe an award for the best student-produced GIS app (open source). To make this a more reasonable exercise for the 'judges,' each GIS teacher would be able to submit just one of their student-team's projects, or maybe one for
each class taught. That would help improve and narrow the field of candidates.<o:p></o:p></p>
