Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Inviting examples of Open Source Geospatial ...

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Charlie, this is excellent idea.  For example, next month's [Oct 2015] 
newsletter, let us start with Mapping with Leaflet [2] from the repository

We should link this also with OSGeo Live[1] and should aim to get one project 
from OSGeo Live highlighted in each edition to start building more closer 
collaboration opportunities and uptake of the resources. This will make sure 
more educators will start knowing about this resource and will start using 
OSGeo Live. 

Anyone from OSGeo Live community willing to help us with this ?  Please let 
Nikos know asap. Thanks

Suchith

Nikos, Suchith, OSGeo software project teams:

Re the GeoForAll newsletter:

Please consider having a regular section in the newsletter that does a story on 
some class or material someone in our network has developed, and promotes the 
open access educational material that GeoForAll labs are building through this 
metadata inventory system [1].

I hope the OSGeo software project teams might consider writing a post about 
their own training activities and consider posting metadata links to their 
materials via this system as well.  This will be a further step toward a closer 
partnership between our education network and the software teams.

Cheers,
Charlie Schweik

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Ica-osgeo-labs] Inviting examples of Open Source Geospatial ...

[Suchith Anand]

Kurt, This is great work that you are doing and thank you for sharing this . 

I am sure there are thousands of excellent examples like these in our OSGeo 
community which we need to highlight to the wider world to build more ideas and 
collaborations. Our "Geo for All" newsletters will reach thousands of readers 
and it will make sure more collaborations are build.

So i request everyone to send their examples (from Government, Industry, SME, 
Startups, NGOs etc) to the lists or directly to Nikos ( email 
-labri...@eled.auth.gr ) and we will aim to get these examples published in our 
monthly newsletters as regular feature. So it will good to have lot of examples 
so we can get them published one by one.

Best wishes,

Suchith

That's awesome Kurt! When ready, consider posting a link to the material on our

health professionals, people who don’t have the time to be full time GIS

As part of this, I’ve been authoring a blog Community Health Mapping 
http://communityhealthmaps.nlm.nih.gov/ . The blog is written at a layperson 
level of technical detail and serves to keep the workflow current with rapidly 
developing technology. It also is forum for case studies and new advances in 
community health mapping tools. There are several case studies written by guest 
bloggers. One of these was written by several high schools students in a poor

   They were really excited to be able to use their phones to do this work!

I have also developed a public health mapping course with six labs, built in 
the same style as the GeoAcademy courses. It essentially takes a student 
through the workflow. The labs are in beta at the moment but will be freely 
available once completed.

To date we’ve trained public health professionals in Charleston, SC, Seattle, 
WA, Honolulu, HI, and Tuskeegee, MI. It has been very successful and a lot of 
fun. This work has been presented at several FOSS4G meetings in past years.
