[Ica-osgeo-labs] OpenGIS Webinar Series

Wed Aug 21 09:16:25 PDT 2013

Yes, great opportunity indeed. I know Mundogeo's experience in organizing these webinars and they are really good. As for Cameron questions (and Suchith's answers) I will add that time/zone will probably depend on the organizers that for the case are from (and in) Brazil (I think they are in Curitiba, -3 UTC). The technology is indeed GoToWebinar but recently we had a discussion with MundoGEO about it because as you may know this technology only works with Windows. If any of you know about an alternative that can also work with Linux that will be great. And MundoGEO will appreciate it much too. All webinars are recorded and you can find past ones here: http://mundogeo.com/webinar/webinar.html. Of course it will be better to have them also in the Labs website.

Dear Suchith (and All)
webinar is a wonderful opportunity! I know that Phil has also many  
experience in webinars (and the infrastructure for delivering them)  
because Rafael Moreno and I gave a webinar on FOSS4G some months ago.

I will disseminate the webinars through ISPRS channels too.

Cheers.
Maria
