Hi Massimo,
I suggest listing offers such as Rafael's, Charles' and Maria's in your proposal.

Hi Rafael and Maria,
Is there potential for Massimo to improve your material using the notebooks he is proposing to create?

If so, it would be great if his proposal could mention this.

Regards, Cameron

Hi everyone,

This semester I am teaching a Web-GIS course.

For 2/3 of the course we use FOSS.

I will be happy to share slides and any other materials.

Let me know.

Rafael

I'll be teaching webGIS next year. We (the tutors of my GIS course and I) have done that since 2008. Mingo (Marco Minghini) is the main tutor. We have also many examples developed by students in the different years. We'll  happy to be part of this.

Oggetto: Re: [Ica-osgeo-labs] OSGeo-Live - GSoC 2015

I'm not against saying that, but I think it would be good to find someone to advise who will be teaching the topic/content in the next year.

Massimo, do you know what specific topics/content you are going to focus on?

Cheers,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your feedback.

Is there any chance you could strengthen your statement to say:
"I hope to be co-teaching a web-GIS class at UMass next spring. Details haven't been finalised yet. However, in anticipation, I am offer to commit some of my time to help advise Massimo in creating content which will likely be of use to GIS trainers such as myself."

Regards, Cameron

Two comments from my end:

1) One connection returns to our ongoing quest to build a working educational content inventory system for education that is on the web. So connecting that idea to the material that Cameron and others have been maintaining on the Live DVD production process is important. This will be an important issue we take on at FOSS4G EU in Como in July. So Massimo, you could help us in this context, potentially.

2) Open source web GIS class

On my end, *I may* be co-teaching a web-GIS class at UMass next spring. Not yet sure, and my collaborators and I aren't sure what technologies we would use for student projects. But if open source web-GIS is something you might do, and if I do end up designing a course, I could potentially help review your material.

Others? I agree with Cameron -- a nice opportunity here potentially.

Cheers,
Charlie Schweik

Hi OSGeo Education folk and Massimo,

Massimo, I think your Google Summer Of Code education idea is very compelling. As you are aware, I've volunteered to mentor from an OSGeo-Live perspective.

What I find incredibly compelling about your idea is that you are proposing to provide technical material to be used directly by OSGeo Educators. However, what is missing is endorsement from a number of educators validating that the material created will be used.

OSGeo educators, please do step up if you can, and say:
"This proposal will result in material that I expect to use within my OSGeo training course(s) XXX. I volunteer to help Massimo define the scope of material to cover."

Regards,
Cameron

Hi,

sorry for any cross-posting,

I'm applying as Google Summer of Code student for the OSgeo-Live project.
My idea, described here [1], focus on free and open source software for education, so i thought it can be of interest to this list.

Thanks for your valuable feedback,

Massimo.
