[Ica-osgeo-labs] Interested in a Web World Wind Webinar? WoW! Whoa! Or What?!

Mon Mar 16 12:15:53 PDT 2015

Gábor,

Helló! Yes, we have a lot of ‘fun’ da mentals to give rich consideration to,
if spatial data (GI) is to be well and broadly experienced.
It is especially important that the underlying technology for that
belong to all AND be advanced by all.
I am hoping OSGeo folks will register their interest!
Not sure how quick the first webinar will materialize, but we’ll soon see!
-Patrick

Dear Patrick,
Yes, a webinar-series one per months from fundamental to advanced gradually upgraded with simple apps examples would be  great. I will surely promote it for the Hungarian GI community and via EUROGI, beyond the borders too.
a starting time of 9AM  PT is fine in Central Europe as well.
The webinar should be easy accessible at no cost and without troubles in case of any of the widely used operating system' environment.
If  decision will be made on the webinar till early next week, I could mention it and referring a website you might pass for me at the GEOSS 4th Technology and User Stakeholders' Workshop held in Norfolk, VA, which I will attend between 23-27 March on behalf GSDI Association and HUNAGI.
Best, Gabor

Nikos and Others,

Thanks for your response and interesting suggestion.

There is no reason why we shouldn't challenge all students, given their interest, to make a contribution to society via FOSS4G. The modular componentry architecture for World Wind code is essentially the same across all versions, Java, Android and iOS. The new web version in JavaScript will be no different. And all World Wind code contains plenty of examples. So it is an excellent platform to teach with.

For teaching World Wind Java, this should be of help, http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/guidance. The current JavaScript examples, though meager in terms of the final code, are each also a good teaching exercise.

That said, though this first webinar will be fairly qualitative and therefore mostly non-technical, any successive webinar, though fundamental, will be purely technical. So, depending on the interest and skill of the student, could certainly help to advance their skill, and provide a template for good software architecture.

Tomorrow's world needs our children to be as well-equipped as possible. Whatever we can do to accelerate that is dearly needed. Our teachers have the most important job in the world! Good luck!!!

Would 9AM Pacific time be a reasonable enough hour?

Dear Patrick,

I will be glad to join the webinar.
As a primary school teacher trainer I would like to ask if you think that the webinar will be simple enough so primary school teachers and undergraduate student teachers could also join. In this case I could motivate a number of teachers and my students.
Have you decided on what exactly the webinar will cover?
Please take into account the time difference or let us download the webinar later.

Nikos
