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

2012-01-22 Thread Landon Blake
I've been dinking around with OpenLayers, so I could do a very basic
OpenLayers webinar. I could also do something on the GPX module I
added to GeoTools.

Is the idea for a live webinar, or for a video produced ahead of time?

 Thanks Charlie for this excellent initiative and Phil Davies for providing 
 GeoTech's infrastructure for this. Could i request strong support and 
 participation from all. These introductory webinars will be an excellent way 
 to get more people (especially in education) to start learning about the 
 various software and also promoting OSGeo.

 Best wishes,

 Subject: Let's start a new OSGeo education webinar initiative

 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
