[OSGeo-Discuss] Let's start a new OSGeo education webinar initiative

2011-12-12 Thread Charles Schweik

Dear OSGeo colleagues,

[This is a copy of a note I sent to the OSGeo education group  
yesterday. My hope is that some of the software teams will be willing  
to do an introduction webinar on their products.]


I'd like to propose that we start a new OSGeo education webinar
series. Thanks to Phil Davis and the GeoTech center [1] we now have
webinar capabilities.

An obvious first step would be to have a set of Introduction to OSGeo
technologies webinars. These would be recorded so we can start to
build a video educational repository.

I've established a wiki page at [2] to allow potential presenters to
sign up. With the new year coming soon, I'm hoping we can get at least
12 webinars identified for the 2012 year to be developed by people who
are subject experts. Or, if you have any ideas on other potential
topics, feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Charlie Schweik
OSGeo edu committee chair

[OSGeo-Discuss] Lists in order of support

2011-12-12 Thread Ravi
We have a good collection of Open GIS Software, thanks to OSGeo.
Do we have a comparison, of efficiency of their Lists and Discussion forums.

I find GRASS, at the top of quick and clear replies, followed by PostGIS , Qgis.
Do we have a mention any where about 'Which Open GIS is where, Say, on a scale 
of 1 to 10', when it comes to efficiency and
time taken for replies. This might help in some introspection.

You are welcome to create your own comparison list; or add to some of the 
others already available. 

The foundation is more concerned with promoting and improving the projects; and 
not so much on judging them :-)

The incubation process does cover couple basics (open source license, some kind 
of open development model, can the code be distributed etc...).
