[Ica-osgeo-labs] Idea: GeoForAll Sprint

[Suchith Anand]

Ela - my suggestion is for Europe Sprint for teacher trainers, let us focus on Bonn event. 
btw i did not get info. on Nodebo in Denmark event. If  Lene is putting her effort to organize QGIS summer school in 2016 then i suggest we should make use of that opportunity also.

 Thanks Jeff for sharing the link. We have some experience with this model - tried to implement it in cooperation with school teachers and teacher trainer (of course we didn't call it 'doc sprint' then ;-) It worked great! 
 
 As the first step, taking school level of education into account (youth aged 19 or less), we could organize a Sprint for teacher trainers (those working directly with school teachers and playing the role of change facilitators) to develop/modify materials which already exist and make them more available/useful for others.
 
 Nottingham sounds great (Suchith, any comments? :-) Also Nodebo in Denmark is tempting ;-) - as far as I know Lene is putting her effort to organize QGIS summer school in 2016 so these two events could be combined. Or Bonn since we agreed in Como to organize a session dedicated for FOSS4G educators there (will keep you updated).

Darn, I forgot to include a link: I saw this yesterday, and it made me think of a GeoForAll sprint: a New York sprint creating course materialshttp://opensource.com/education/15/6/applying-doc-sprint-model-curriculum-creation

Hello everyone, 
 
 I'd like to pose an idea to the OSGeo-ICA-ISPRS community: a "GeoForAll 
 Sprint" event.  The goal of the event would be to get the OSGeo, and 
 ICA, and ISPRS communities together over a few days to work together on 
 developing Open curriculum materials.  What do you think?? 
 
 Those of you familiar with code sprints, know them as getting developers 
 from around the world to work together, usually in a big room with good 
 wifi, and working on OSGeo software projects. 
 
 Now, the GeoForAll Sprint would be a little different, as code may not 
 be written for the OSGeo projects, but materials would be developed that 
 could be used by the project communities, and educators. 
 
 If you choose to do this, there are already steps available if you want 
 to request for funding to the OSGeo Board for a sprint (see the steps at 
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines). 
 
 I wonder if someone in GeoForAll would like to take this on and champion 
 it.  If so, it could be a great event for the 3 communities.
