[Ica-osgeo-labs] Idea: GeoForAll Sprint

Thu Aug 27 00:57:21 PDT 2015

Toni,

Thanks for this excellent idea. We should be making use of events like GIS day also to promote Geo4All to widen more opportunities for everyone. We can request all participating in GIS Day to give away OSGeo Live DVDs, OSGeo leaflets etc.

Best wishes,

Suchith

btw is the venue/dates for FOSS4G NA 2016 and FOSS4G Asia 2016 confirmed? Does anyone know who is the main LOC contact for these two  events?

OSGeo:UK chapter also have plans for FOSS4G UK 2016 event (venue/dates not confirmed yet, most probably will be in London), so we can also use these smaller events to run these edu sprints. Distributing the sprint events both geographically and timewise will ensure more people can contribute to events/dates that best suits their availability.

Thanks Phillip, Kurt. The efforts you put in for developing these excellent set of resources have provided us strong foundation that we all can make use of and build upon.

For the GeoforAll sprints in South Africa and also at FOSS4G regional conferences in 2016 (it is good timing as Ela is already working for Bonn Geo4Allevent), we will now start planning series of sprint events for expanding and keeping this updated. In fact, we will invite the wider geocommunity to also contribute to the sprint efforts.

All who wish to contribute/participate in the SA Sprint event (both in person and remotely) , please inform Bridget Fleming   Email - bridget at afrispatial.co.za

Thanks.

Suchith

Jeff, You must have been eavesdropping on some of our phone calls while developing the GeoAcademy :)!
We´ve discussed this many times as the only hope to keep the five GeoAcademy courses up to date with new releases of QGIS. I think I even mentioned that in my talk in Denmark!

Nottingham sounds great and I also Nodebo is a great cozy, comfortable place to work.

The GeoAcademy courses could be one of the targets for such a curriculum sprint. http://fossgeo.org/free-qgis-courses/

I am in full support!
Kurt
