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.
