<br>
Thank you this excellent idea. Yes, OSGeo Advocate list is an great starting point for this and we can use this to expand the idea.<br>
<br>
Christian - it will be really good if you are able to join the meeting. Please let me know.<br>
<br>
This meeting will also help us to know and learn more about GeoBadges and I will send the meeting summary to the list.<br>
<br>
I will also request Anastasia for arranging another meeting to suit you and Cameron's availability.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>

<div>Hi Suchith,<br>
<br>
It sounds like there is a quite a bit of overlap with OSGeo's existing "OSGeo Advocate" list. [1]<br>
A starting point might be to create GeoBadges by scraping information from this list, and adding a GeoBadges map to the Advocate list. It actually already has a number of categories which could be used, and potentially extended.<br>
<br>
Christian Willmes fairly recently converted this list into structured wiki format, making it a lot easier to scrape the information from it. Christian, you might want to join this GeoBadges meeting.<br>
<br>
Sorry, I won't be able to make this meeting. I'll be interested to hear what comes of it.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<pre>The Geo4All GeoBadges can be given to any GeoAmbassador who helps for expanding Spatial Literacy and geographic awareness in Schools and universities globally using Open Principles . So they can make use of any OSGeo (gvSIG, QGIS etc) or other open tools , open data, open educational resources etc.
We need all of your ideas/inputs on how we can shape this GeoAmbassador Program.

Subject: [Geo4All] Geo4All GeoBadge meeting
Dear All,
The Geo4All GeoBadge meeting has been scheduled for Friday, June 3 at 3:00 pm (EST) via UberConference. Myself, Nikos are confirmed to attend (hopefully Phil, Ela will also be able to join). If any of you wish to join this meeting, please let me know asap. Thanks.
To start with, i suggest that we could plan GeoBadges for our GeoAmbassador program for expanding Spatial Literacy and geographic awareness in Schools and universities globally. Once the MapStory platform is launched with new functionalities, we would be announcing our partnership with MapStory Foundation to plan spatial literacy for schools and universities globally to help build spatially thinking society. We need to have lot of GeoAmbassadors (who are all volunteers) to make this program a success. One way to acknowledge the contributions of our GeoAmbassadors is we provide GeoBadges for our Spatial Literacy GeoAmbassadors. All ideas welcome on how we can plan this.
Best wishes,
Suchith
