Hi Tom, Thank you for sharing this important info which will be of interest to the wider OSGeo community
May I request to put some links to open mapping resources and tutorials in the course structure https://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html http://spatialquerylab.com/foss4g-academy-curriculum/ Ideally it will be good if those running these courses can give away OSGeo Live DVDs /USBs to participants. There is lot of synergies between OSGeo and OSM communities, so let us use this opportunity to further expand synergies. It will be good to have this workshops also happening in FOSS4G conferences (local, regional and global). Best wishes, Suchith ________________________________________ From: GeoForAll <geoforall-boun...@lists.osgeo.org> on behalf of Mueller, Thomas <muel...@calu.edu> Sent: 25 September 2017 9:21 PM To: geofor...@lists.osgeo.org; passhe...@googlegroups.com; av_memb...@americaview.org; youthmapp...@lyris.ttu.edu; highere...@atlantis.esri.com Cc: Boomerang Geospatial; Steven Johnson Subject: [Geo4All] Every Student a Mapper: How to Put Open Mapping in the Classroom Sorry for cross postings....
