===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===<br />
<br />
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.<br />
<br />
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].<br />
<br />
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />

<br />
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria<br />
<br />
=== Key requirements for joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===<br />
<br />
<br />
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />
<br />
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.<br />
<br />
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.<br />
<br />
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.<br />
<br />
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.<br />
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.<br />

<br />
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.<br />
<br />
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].<br />
<br />
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />

<br />
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria<br />
<br />
=== Key requirements for joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===<br />
<br />
<br />
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />
<br />
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.<br />
<br />
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.<br />
<br />
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.<br />
<br />
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.<br />
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.<br />

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===<br />
<br />
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.<br />
<br />
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].<br />
<br />
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />

Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria<br />
<br />
=== Key requirements for joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===<br />
<br />
<br />
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />
<br />
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.<br />
<br />
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.<br />
<br />
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.<br />
<br />
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.<br />
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.<br />

<br />
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.<br />
<br />
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].<br />
<br />
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />

== Interested in joining or supporting the "Geo for All" initiative? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:<br />
<br />
# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA) <br />
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil) <br />
# Europe - Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Peter Mooney (Ireland) <br />
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India) <br />
# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa) <br />
<br />
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria<br />
<br />
=== Key requirements for joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===<br />
<br />
<br />
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />
<br />
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.<br />
<br />
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.<br />
<br />
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.<br />
<br />
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.<br />
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.<br />

== Requirements: Software, hardware, geodata ==<br />
<br />
=== Workshops ===<br />
<br />
Workshop classrooms come with native Windows XP computers. Required software will be installed on Windows XP and tested on mid July. Alternatively, an Open Source Virtual Machine can be provided.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Room !! Code !! Title !! Software needs<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S101<br />
|| W1<br />
|| Web Mapping with GeoServer<br />
|| You supply the laptops, we supply the software and data.<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S101<br />
|| W8<br />
|| Getting Started With MapServer<br />
|| No additional material is required. Optional: bring your own datasets to load into your web mapping application. Intermediate/advance questions will be accommodated if time permits.<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S201<br />
|| W2<br />
|| gvSIG 1.9 user workshop<br />
|| the workshop will run on the OSGeo LiveDVD so we suppose we don't need hard and soft additional.<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S201<br />
|| W9<br />
|| Quantum GIS and PostGIS: Solving Spatial Problems and Creating Web-Based Analysis Tools<br />
|| "Quantum GIS v1.4.0 Enceladus" or newer, installed on workshop computers or available on the FOSS4G LiveDVD. Please use Windows "Standalone" version, not the "OSGeo4W" installer version. Internet access to the instructor's PostGIS and WMS/WFS server.<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S202<br />
|| W3<br />
|| Setting up an OpenStreetMap rendering toolchain<br />
|| Hardware: One computer per person, plus overhead projector. Standard internet connection. Nothing out of the ordinary. Software: Already installed in the computers: PostGIS, Mapnik, Mapnik support scripts, Apache2 web server, and mod_tile. Computers *must* run Linux in order for Apache+mod_tile to work. Some other workshops may use PostGIS and Apache, so it should be coordinated. PHPPGAdmin would be a plus. Available somewhere in the workshop CDs: OpenLayers, plus some sets of geodata (global shorelines, plus a small excerpt of OpenStreetMap data). Total size of this data should be around or less than 100 MB. The workshop tutor will provide all materials prior to the workshop. All software in the computers should be tested beforehand, so it is desirable to have a disk image or install CD the tutor can try out ahead of time. Atendees should not bring anything special. All the needed software and data should be readily available in the computers, plus a CD (or pendrive, or similar device).<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S202<br />
|| W10<br />
|| FOSS4G routing with pgRouting tools, OpenStreetMap road data and GeoExt<br />
|| -<br />
|-<br />
| C6.S302<br />
|| W4<br />
|| Introduction to PostGIS<br />
|| Windows XP computers.<br />
|-<br />
| C6.S302<br />
|| W11<br />
|| Working with OpenLayers<br />
|| Participants will complete exercises on a PC (any OS) that is running a web server (e.g. Apache). Participants will need to edit text files with an editor and view examples in a browser. The workshop also requires GeoServer and Postgres w/ PostGIS running. We can provide software and data to be installed in advance of the workshop. In previous workshops, GeoServer has been installed and running, PostGIS configured with workshop data, and Apache configured to proxy GeoServer on port 80 and provide an alias to the workshop document root. We can provide documentation on setting all this up and can help if workshop machines are available before the workshop date. So, requirements are - * PostGIS (configured with data) * GeoServer (running on port 8080 or other) * Apache (configured to proxy GeoServer on port 80 and with alias to workshop document root) * Text editor * Web browser (Firefox recommended).<br />
|-<br />
| C6.S306<br />
|| W5<br />
|| Introduction to the Mapbender Geoportal Framwework<br />
|| The workshop will run completely on the Mapbender Portal provided by OSGeo, no software will be installed during the course all that is needed is a web terminal. Attendees who want to work with their own copy of the software should either install it on a server that is available via internet during the workshop or on their own notebook. To the experienced geoportal operator the installation is straight forward, all information can be found on the Mapbender web site http://www.mapbender.org. If you want to install you own copy but are new to either GIS, web technology, mapping, OGC standards or any combination thereof it is recommended to start the installation well in advance to the workshop as it involves a web server, database, PHP, Mapbender internet accessibility. You will get all the help that you need to set up the system and get it to run properly on the http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Mapbender_Mailing_Lists. <br />
|-<br />
| C6.S306<br />
|| W12<br />
|| GeoNetwork for dummies, or how to setup an SDI in 3 hours<br />
|| None. CD-ROM and instructions will be brought by workshop organizer.<br />
|-<br />
| C6.S308<br />
|| W6<br />
|| Solid Web Mapping with Python<br />
|| Linux or Windows machine with Python 2.5 or 2.6 installed. Linux is preferred.<br />
|-<br />
| C6.S308<br />
|| W13<br />
|| Geospatial for Java<br />
|| Windows, any version of Java, Students will have choice of Eclipse or NetBeans IDE.<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S101<br />
|| W7<br />
|| Practical Introduction to ZOO, the Powerful WPS Platform<br />
|| computer and ZOO-CD (ZOO-Binaries, GDAL/OGR library and dependencies).<br />
|-<br />
| B5.S101<br />
|| W14<br />
|| Practical Introduction to GRASS<br />
|| For the workshop we need: - GRASS (one of the 6.4 series, 6.4.0RC5 is currently available); - the standard North Carolina GRASS demo data set, the "smaller simpler subset (47MB)" (http://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/north_carolina/nc_basic_spm.tar.gz) is sufficient; - our HTML tutorial; - our PDF file containing the introductory slides for the workshop. The last years we used our own live DVDs, especially tailored for the Conferences (see for example the 2009 DVD here: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software/FOSS4G2009_GRASS_beginners_DVD.html), but we can provide our tutorial as a Debian and Ubuntu package, so that it can be included in the OSGEO Live DVD. Since this is a beginners' workshop, it is fundamental that GRASS' version in use matches the one used in the workshop material, so that all the details correspond. Therefore, if the OSGEO Live DVD is used we need to know which GRASS version will be included at least a month in advance, to review all the material. No special hardware is required, maps in the dataset are quite small, therefore a fairly modern Pc will do. No network connection is required, unless you want the attendees to download the tutorial and the dataset. It is possible to use attendees' laptop (some of the attendees have used their own Pc last year in Sydney), but we must be reasonably sure they have a working GRASS installation. Again, the GRASS version can be critical. Last year I have helped some of them to setup their machine via email before the workshop. The use of a live DVD on a Pc provided by the organization is probably the best choice for most of the attendees, since they are not required to setup GRASS before the workshop but they can take the DVD home and re-run the workshop. They can also use the DVD as an installer.<br />

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==<br />
<br />
A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...<br />
<br />
<br />
== Venue ==<br />
Venue hasn't been confirmed yet, but will likely be Ultimo TAFE, which is 15 minutes walk from the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre where the conference is being held. TAFE is a government sponsored Tertiary Education centre and has plenty of rooms, white boards etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Time and Date ==<br />
Date: Saturday 24 October (the day after the conference).<br />
Time: 9am - 5pm<br />
<br />
== Motivation and Direction ==<br />
<br />
A day, a code base, and your imagination?<br />
<br />
Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.<br />
<br />
Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:<br />

<div>== Organizing Contacts ==<br />
<br />
* Jody Garnett, Tyler Mitchell<br />
<br />
<br />
== Code Sprint - what's that? ==<br />
<br />
A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...<br />
<br />
<br />
== Venue ==<br />
Venue hasn't been confirmed yet, but will likely be Ultimo TAFE, which is 15 minutes walk from the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre where the conference is being held. TAFE is a government sponsored Tertiary Education centre and has plenty of rooms, white boards etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Time and Date ==<br />
Date: Saturday 24 October (the day after the conference).<br />
<br />
Time to be confirmed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Motivation and Direction ==<br />
<br />
A day, a code base, and your imagination?<br />
<br />
Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.<br />
<br />
Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:<br />

=== '''TASK C. DEVELOP FREEGIS BOOK''' ===<br />
# Status: Work on the Spanish FGB seems to have slowed somewhat as authors tackle other tasks. I'd like to get moving on a (somewhat) independent effort on the English FGB. I had originally hoped to just plug my metadata chapter into a translated version of the Spanish FGB, but I don't know how practical this still is. I need to talk with the spanish team about it more. Whether the Spanish material is translated or not, I'd like to move ahead with a Docbook version of the English FGB. This will depend on some Docbook tool chain work and on resolution of some branding issues. - Landon Blake<br />
## See [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/edu_discuss/2008-June/000785.html mail] from [[Jorge Sanz]] to Edu List as a brief abstract of the current situation for the Spanish FGB.<br />
## Current needs for Spanish FGB: return to the activity, maybe changing goals to a more realistic ones and getting involved past or new authors. For example, splitting the book in smaller parts to publish on the journal and catch attention of the community, etc.<br />
## Current needs for English FGB: Coordinate with Spanish FGB to see if translation of material is possible. Work on Docbook tool chain so new chapters can be written. Work at recruiting additional authors.<br />

=== '''TASK F. DEVELOP A PACKAGED CD FOR UBUNTU TO LAUNCH AT FOSS4G2008 in Cape Town ===<br />
# This was proposed by Gavin and involves others in OSGeo not just education group.<br />
## Gavin's ideas: One-click installation for Linux, Windows or Mac; Integrated software stack so teachers and learners have to launch a minimal number of applications; Simplified and customised GUIs to lower the entry threshold (for teachers to teach curriculum requirements of GIS; for teachers to use GIS to teach geography and other subjects; for learners to use for hands-on work); Free, integrated global and local data package; excellent documentation; framework for local contributors to structure and contribute exercises, lessons, etc; central website for resources; possible advanced options for network deployment, more sophisticated users, 'computer studies' learners (i.e. developers), school web map services, etc. These are expanded in [[School_GIS_Use_Cases]].<br />
##Current individual efforts:<br />
### The '''live DVD''' for the FOSS4G 2008 "Practical Introduction to GRASS and related software for beginners" Workshop to be presented in Cape Town '''is available'''. The DVD, developed by University of Trento Italy, is based on Kubuntu live with GRASS GIS 6.2.3 and GRASS GIS 6.4 (snapshot_2008_7_12), R 2.7.0 with GRASS support, QGIS 0.10 with GRASS plugin, PostgreSQL 8.3.8, PostGIS 1.3.3, pgAdminIII 1.8.2, pgagent 1.8.2 and other application. A GRASS tutorial in English and the workshop slides are included in this distribution. [http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software/FOSS4G2008_GRASS_beginners_DVD.html You can find more info here]. Download:[ftp://grassimages.ing.unitn.it/pub/GRASS_DVD_FOSS4G2008_workshop.iso ISO image of the DVD] warning the file weights about 4.0 Gb, [http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software/GRASS_DVD_FOSS4G2008_workshop.md5 md5sums here]<br />
### The '''Ubuntu-based [http://www.ominiverdi.org/index.php/livecd/Free%20GIS%20liveCD Ominiverdi Desktop Livecd 2008.0]''' will be available soon, which includes GRASS, QGIS, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, GDal, Proj, R and Pgadmin. Also bundled an installation package for windows system ( with an help page showing up on Autorun); the idea is to put inside also packages for Mac, but doing this will mean moving from CD to DVD. <br />
## [http://sites.google.com/site/poseidonlinux/Home Poseidon Linux] including many [http://sites.google.com/site/poseidonlinux/details of these apps], including GRASS, QGIS, Terraview and more. Also includes main desktop apps found in a normal distribution.<br />
## There is another OSGeo subcommittee that looked into this in 2007 [[Distribution_Special_Interest_Groups]]. There are specialized GIS groups connected to Ubuntu, Debian and others listed on that page.<br />

=== '''TASK G. CONTENT FORMAT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL''' ===<br />
# We've had ongoing back and forth discussions about whether some recommended standards regarding the format of education content should be established. Generally, our policy should be that we welcome educational material in ANY format that the author prefers to work in. However, at the same time, we might want to move toward developing some recommended standards, especially if we eventually move toward "official" OSGeo educational content. <br />

== COMPLETED TASKS FOR 2007-08 ==<br />
# '''Establish a wiki page with an initial inventory of available educational content and commitments for new material'''<br />
## Deadline: October 31, 2007; <br />
## Outcome: '''Completed with 16 entries listed on the [[Educational_Content_Inventory]] page.'''<br />
## [[Commitments_for_New_Material_Development]]<br />
<br />
# '''Investigate, vote on, and recommend a content management system for educational ''modules'''''<br />
## Deadline: October 31, 2007.<br />
## Outcome: '''Task deferred and focus on develop tutorial using Wiki/Moodle strategy.''' We had a series of discussions on various approaches toward this over the group email list, but really reached no consensus. I (Charlie Schweik) concluded that given we have an existing wiki and also a Moodle site established, we should try to move toward establishing a recommended digital format and structure for future tutorials and where possible we try to convert old tutorials to this format (I intend to do so with my tutorials). For this reason, I took this item off the current to-do list.<br />
## Subcommittee members: Ben Alden; Victor Olaya; Charlie Schweik; Scott Mitchell; Venka; Maria Brovelli; Rob Braswell<br />
## [[Edu Content Management Platform Decision]]<br />
## More detail: coming soon. But this task is for people to investigate various options that have been identified. These include (1) the Moodle example presented by Arnulf [http://www.osgeo.net/moodle]; (2) the use of the wiki system (Tyler showed me some additional functionality after our BOF meeting); (3) Rice connexions [http://cnx.org]; (4) [http://www.eoearth.org/ Encyclopedia of Earth]; (4) [http://lulu.com lulu.com]; (5) [http://cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons/ EduCommons]. The group agreed that at this juncture we need to be inclusive and work with the needs of various content providers. So some material may be stored on an OSGeo platform with the capability for new derivative works, or it may just be links to external resources we are aware of. This subcommittee task is to figure out a recommended strategy within the next month (or less). <br />
<br />
# '''Develop a suggested tutorial creation standard for group review'''<br />
### Subcommittee members: Ned Horning (American Museum of Natural History), Charlie Schweik, Alexander Stepanov, Maili Page (UMass, Amherst)<br />
### 1/18/2008 status: Our proposal (pdf) is here: [[Media:A_Proposal_for_OSGEO_Edu_Authoring_Summary.pdf]]. An example of one tutorial (pdf format, 845KB) built through this process is here: [[Media:db_foss_m1.pdf]]. (We intend to move the license and authorship information to the top in a next version). <br />
### June, 2008. After working on this, it became clear that it is not in the best interest of the group to specify a standard -- different people may want to use different approaches (Latex, DocBook, Open Office, etc.) Through this task we came up with a DocBook process, which now has some documentation available if others want to use it, but we are not pushing for its use throughout our group.<br />

=== '''TASK C. DEVELOP FREEGIS BOOK''' ===<br />
# Status: Work on the Spanish FGB seems to have slowed somewhat as authors tackle other tasks. I'd like to get moving on a (somewhat) independent effort on the English FGB. I had originally hoped to just plug my metadata chapter into a translated version of the Spanish FGB, but I don't know how practical this still is. I need to talk with the spanish team about it more. Whether the Spanish material is translated or not, I'd like to move ahead with a Docbook version of the English FGB. This will depend on some Docbook tool chain work and on resolution of some branding issues. - Landon Blake<br />
## See [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/edu_discuss/2008-June/000785.html mail] from [[Jorge Sanz]] to Edu List as a brief abstract of the current situation for the Spanish FGB.<br />
## Current needs for Spanish FGB: return to the activity, maybe changing goals to a more realistic ones and getting involved past or new authors. For example, splitting the book in smaller parts to publish on the journal and catch attention of the community, etc.<br />
## Current needs for English FGB: Coordinate with Spanish FGB to see if translation of material is possible. Work on Docbook tool chain so new chapters can be written. Work at recruiting additional authors.<br />

=== '''TASK F. DEVELOP A PACKAGED CD FOR UBUNTU TO LAUNCH AT FOSS4G2008 in Cape Town ===<br />
# This was proposed by Gavin and involves others in OSGeo not just education group.<br />
## Gavin's ideas: One-click installation for Linux, Windows or Mac; Integrated software stack so teachers and learners have to launch a minimal number of applications; Simplified and customised GUIs to lower the entry threshold (for teachers to teach curriculum requirements of GIS; for teachers to use GIS to teach geography and other subjects; for learners to use for hands-on work); Free, integrated global and local data package; excellent documentation; framework for local contributors to structure and contribute exercises, lessons, etc; central website for resources; possible advanced options for network deployment, more sophisticated users, 'computer studies' learners (i.e. developers), school web map services, etc. These are expanded in [[School_GIS_Use_Cases]].<br />
##Current individual efforts:<br />
### The '''live DVD''' for the FOSS4G 2008 "Practical Introduction to GRASS and related software for beginners" Workshop to be presented in Cape Town '''is available'''. The DVD, developed by University of Trento Italy, is based on Kubuntu live with GRASS GIS 6.2.3 and GRASS GIS 6.4 (snapshot_2008_7_12), R 2.7.0 with GRASS support, QGIS 0.10 with GRASS plugin, PostgreSQL 8.3.8, PostGIS 1.3.3, pgAdminIII 1.8.2, pgagent 1.8.2 and other application. A GRASS tutorial in English and the workshop slides are included in this distribution. [http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software/FOSS4G2008_GRASS_beginners_DVD.html: You can fined more info here]. Download:[ftp://grassimages.ing.unitn.it/pub/GRASS_DVD_FOSS4G2008_workshop.iso ISO image of the DVD] warning the file weights about 4.0 Gb.<br />

### The '''Ubuntu-based [http://www.ominiverdi.org/index.php/livecd/Free%20GIS%20liveCD Ominiverdi Desktop Livecd 2008.0]''' will be available soon, which includes GRASS, QGIS, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, GDal, Proj, R and Pgadmin. Also bundled an installation package for windows system ( with an help page showing up on Autorun); the idea is to put inside also packages for Mac, but doing this will mean moving from CD to DVD. <br />
## [http://sites.google.com/site/poseidonlinux/Home Poseidon Linux] including many [http://sites.google.com/site/poseidonlinux/details of these apps], including GRASS, QGIS, Terraview and more. Also includes main desktop apps found in a normal distribution.<br />
## There is another OSGeo subcommittee that looked into this in 2007 [[Distribution_Special_Interest_Groups]]. There are specialized GIS groups connected to Ubuntu, Debian and others listed on that page.<br />

=== '''TASK G. CONTENT FORMAT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL''' ===<br />
# We've had ongoing back and forth discussions about whether some recommended standards regarding the format of education content should be established. Generally, our policy should be that we welcome educational material in ANY format that the author prefers to work in. However, at the same time, we might want to move toward developing some recommended standards, especially if we eventually move toward "official" OSGeo educational content. <br />

== COMPLETED TASKS FOR 2007-08 ==<br />
# '''Establish a wiki page with an initial inventory of available educational content and commitments for new material'''<br />
## Deadline: October 31, 2007; <br />
## Outcome: '''Completed with 16 entries listed on the [[Educational_Content_Inventory]] page.'''<br />
## [[Commitments_for_New_Material_Development]]<br />
<br />
# '''Investigate, vote on, and recommend a content management system for educational ''modules'''''<br />
## Deadline: October 31, 2007.<br />
## Outcome: '''Task deferred and focus on develop tutorial using Wiki/Moodle strategy.''' We had a series of discussions on various approaches toward this over the group email list, but really reached no consensus. I (Charlie Schweik) concluded that given we have an existing wiki and also a Moodle site established, we should try to move toward establishing a recommended digital format and structure for future tutorials and where possible we try to convert old tutorials to this format (I intend to do so with my tutorials). For this reason, I took this item off the current to-do list.<br />
## Subcommittee members: Ben Alden; Victor Olaya; Charlie Schweik; Scott Mitchell; Venka; Maria Brovelli; Rob Braswell<br />
## [[Edu Content Management Platform Decision]]<br />
## More detail: coming soon. But this task is for people to investigate various options that have been identified. These include (1) the Moodle example presented by Arnulf [http://www.osgeo.net/moodle]; (2) the use of the wiki system (Tyler showed me some additional functionality after our BOF meeting); (3) Rice connexions [http://cnx.org]; (4) [http://www.eoearth.org/ Encyclopedia of Earth]; (4) [http://lulu.com lulu.com]; (5) [http://cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons/ EduCommons]. The group agreed that at this juncture we need to be inclusive and work with the needs of various content providers. So some material may be stored on an OSGeo platform with the capability for new derivative works, or it may just be links to external resources we are aware of. This subcommittee task is to figure out a recommended strategy within the next month (or less). <br />
<br />
# '''Develop a suggested tutorial creation standard for group review'''<br />
### Subcommittee members: Ned Horning (American Museum of Natural History), Charlie Schweik, Alexander Stepanov, Maili Page (UMass, Amherst)<br />
### 1/18/2008 status: Our proposal (pdf) is here: [[Media:A_Proposal_for_OSGEO_Edu_Authoring_Summary.pdf]]. An example of one tutorial (pdf format, 845KB) built through this process is here: [[Media:db_foss_m1.pdf]]. (We intend to move the license and authorship information to the top in a next version). <br />
### June, 2008. After working on this, it became clear that it is not in the best interest of the group to specify a standard -- different people may want to use different approaches (Latex, DocBook, Open Office, etc.) Through this task we came up with a DocBook process, which now has some documentation available if others want to use it, but we are not pushing for its use throughout our group.<br />

== Multi-language OSGeo dictionary ==<br />
<br />
The scope is to collect over the years geo* related terms in a multi-language style to facilitate reading/writing in other languages, to help with software internationalization, to help when writing proposals in non-mother-tongue languages (like me who has to write in Italian) etc.<br />
<br />
Example (this would be a dictionary software then): <br />
<br />
EN: landscape genetics<br />
IT: genetica del paesaggio<br />
DE: Landschaftsgenetik<br />

Since we are an excellent group of experts covering many languages, we could run this as long-term Edu project.<br />
<br />
Once a reasonable amount of terms is available, download should be enabled in Docbook or other formats.<br />
<br />
== Software platform ==<br />
<br />
We could use the Wiktionary software (http://www.wiktionary.org/) and keep it just running. Possibly an OSGeo hacker could also fetch translations from Wikipedia from a handcrafted terms collection of terms to populate an initial dictionary (using the box on the left side which references translations).<br />
<br />
* Wiktionary is just using MediaWiki as all other WikiMedia sites (and this OSGeo wiki too). So, very easy to run.--[[User:Steko|steko]] 06:29, 13 November 2007 (EST)<br />
** I have asked Martin Spott about installation and will report back. Markus [[User:Neteler|Neteler]] 11:14, 24 November 2007 (EST)<br />

<hr />
<div>2008 INITIATIVES <br />
<br />
'''TASK A. INVENTORY RELEVANT EDUCATIONAL CONTENT <br />
# Authors who have existing courses or are currently developing courses, please update or list your course (and modules, if possible) on the [[Educational_Content_Inventory]]. '''Our goal is to have a nicely updated page for the upcoming FOSS4Geo conference!'''<br />
# Status: ongoing<br />
# Subcommittee: Everyone with available content... PLEASE, EVERYONE UPDATE FOR YOUR CONTENT!!!<br />
<br><br />
'''TASK B. DEVELOP MECHANISM FOR ARCHIVING AND SERVING EDUCATIONAL CONTENT <br />
# Status: Completed. We now have a working [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/education Subversion] system for our group, and an example of how to link modules from the above wiki inventory page to it (see [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Educational_Content_Inventory#Introduction_to_FOSS_GIS_using_QGIS_.8.2C_PostgreSQL.2C_PostGIS.2C_and_the_Grass_plugin_for_QGIS available read-only modules]. Authors are encouraged to upload modules to the Subversion system and link on the wiki page following this model.<br />
# However, a new opportunity has arisen related to [http://wikieducator.org The wikieducator.org initiative] which requires group discussion.<br />
# Subcommittee members: Charlie Schweik, Ned Horning, Maili Page <br />
<br><br />
'''TASK C. DEVELOP FREEGIS BOOK'''<br />
# Status: Work on the Spanish FGB seems to have slowed somewhat as authors tackle other tasks. I'd like to get moving on a (somewhat) independent effort on the English FGB. I had originally hoped to just plug my metadata chapter into a translated version of the Spanish FGB, but I don't know how practical this still is. I need to talk with the spanish team about it more. Whether the Spanish material is translated or not, I'd like to move ahead with a Docbook version of the English FGB. This will depend on some Docbook tool chain work and on resolution of some branding issues. - Landon Blake<br />
## See [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/edu_discuss/2008-June/000785.html mail] from [[Jorge Sanz]] to Edu List as a brief abstract of the current situation for the Spanish FGB.<br />
## Current needs for Spanish FGB: return to the activity, maybe changing goals to a more realistic ones and getting involved past or new authors. For example, splitting the book in smaller parts to publish on the journal and catch attention of the community, etc.<br />
## Current needs for English FGB: Coordinate with Spanish FGB to see if translation of material is possible. Work on Docbook tool chain so new chapters can be written. Work at recruiting additional authors.<br />
<br />
# Subcommittee members: Victor, can you list active people on this?<br />
## Spanish FGB: At this time there is not any activity but recent authors:<br />
### [[User:Volaya|Víctor Olaya]]<br />
### [[User:Lalonica|Lola Arteaga]]<br />
### [[User:Miguelluaces|Miguel Luaces]]<br />
### [[Jorge Sanz]]<br />
<br />
<br><br />
'''TASK D. DEVELOP A MULTILANGUAGE OSGEO DICTIONARY'''<br />
# This was proposed by Marcus Neteler with several others supporting the idea<br />
# Project working page is here: [[OSGeo_Multilanguage_Dictionary]]<br />
# Subcommittee chair: [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/User:Sunburned_Surveyor The Sunburned Surveyor]<br />
# Status: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/188 <br />
# Status Update: The OSGeo contains a "starter dictionary" to hold content while we wait for additional software. I would also like to start a docbook version of the dictionary. - Landon Blake<br />
<br><br />
'''TASK E. DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL LICENSING AND THE USE OF THE OSGEO LOGO IN MATERIAL'''<br />
# See [[Edu Licensing and Logo Discussion]]<br />
# Subcommittee: to be determined<br />
<br><br />
'''TASK F. DEVELOP A PACKAGED CD FOR UBUNTU TO LAUNCH AT FOSS4G2008 in Cape Town<br />
# This was proposed by Gavin and involves others in OSGeo not just education group.<br />
## Gavin's ideas: One-click installation for Linux, Windows or Mac; Integrated software stack so teachers and learners have to launch a minimal number of applications; Simplified and customised GUIs to lower the entry threshold (for teachers to teach curriculum requirements of GIS; for teachers to use GIS to teach geography and other subjects; for learners to use for hands-on work); Free, integrated global and local data package; excellent documentation; framework for local contributors to structure and contribute exercises, lessons, etc; central website for resources; possible advanced options for network deployment, more sophisticated users, 'computer studies' learners (i.e. developers), school web map services, etc. These are expanded in [[School_GIS_Use_Cases]].<br />
##The University of Trento (Italy) Group (Clara Tattoni, Marco Ciolli and Paolo Zatelli) is developing a multi-language live-DVD based on Kubuntu, with GRASS, QGIS, R and other packages together with a beginners tutorial in English. At present a one click installation is possible for Windows and Linux users. We are willing to share this effort with the edu group if interested. We are currently working on an updated version (both software and edu material) for our Cape Town workshop. The old live-DVD version [http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software/FOSS4G2007_GRASS_RDBMS_DVD.html: is available here]. Updates will come in about three week time. <br />
## Subcommittee chair: '''Any volunteers?'''<br />
## Subcommittee members: '''Any takers to try and organize such an effort?'''<br />
## Interested Parties:<br />

'''COMPLETED TASKS FOR 2007-08'''<br />
# '''Establish a wiki page with an initial inventory of available educational content and commitments for new material'''<br />
## Deadline: October 31, 2007; <br />
## Outcome: '''Completed with 16 entries listed on the [[Educational_Content_Inventory]] page.'''<br />
## [[Commitments_for_New_Material_Development]]<br />
<br />
# '''Investigate, vote on, and recommend a content management system for educational ''modules'''''<br />
## Deadline: October 31, 2007.<br />
## Outcome: '''Task deferred and focus on develop tutorial using Wiki/Moodle strategy.''' We had a series of discussions on various approaches toward this over the group email list, but really reached no consensus. I (Charlie Schweik) concluded that given we have an existing wiki and also a Moodle site established, we should try to move toward establishing a recommended digital format and structure for future tutorials and where possible we try to convert old tutorials to this format (I intend to do so with my tutorials). For this reason, I took this item off the current to-do list.<br />
## Subcommittee members: Ben Alden; Victor Olaya; Charlie Schweik; Scott Mitchell; Venka; Maria Brovelli; Rob Braswell<br />
## [[Edu Content Management Platform Decision]]<br />
## More detail: coming soon. But this task is for people to investigate various options that have been identified. These include (1) the Moodle example presented by Arnulf [http://www.osgeo.net/moodle]; (2) the use of the wiki system (Tyler showed me some additional functionality after our BOF meeting); (3) Rice connexions [http://cnx.org]; (4) [http://www.eoearth.org/ Encyclopedia of Earth]; (4) [http://lulu.com lulu.com]; (5) [http://cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons/ EduCommons]. The group agreed that at this juncture we need to be inclusive and work with the needs of various content providers. So some material may be stored on an OSGeo platform with the capability for new derivative works, or it may just be links to external resources we are aware of. This subcommittee task is to figure out a recommended strategy within the next month (or less). <br />
<br />
# '''Develop a suggested tutorial creation standard for group review'''<br />
### Subcommittee members: Ned Horning (American Museum of Natural History), Charlie Schweik, Alexander Stepanov, Maili Page (UMass, Amherst)<br />
### 1/18/2008 status: Our proposal (pdf) is here: [[Media:A_Proposal_for_OSGEO_Edu_Authoring_Summary.pdf]]. An example of one tutorial (pdf format, 845KB) built through this process is here: [[Media:db_foss_m1.pdf]]. (We intend to move the license and authorship information to the top in a next version). <br />
### June, 2008. After working on this, it became clear that it is not in the best interest of the group to specify a standard -- different people may want to use different approaches (Latex, DocBook, Open Office, etc.) Through this task we came up with a DocBook process, which now has some documentation available if others want to use it, but we are not pushing for its use throughout our group.<br />
<br />

<div>''This page is a proposal''<br />
<br />
== Multi-language OSGeo dictionary ==<br />
<br />
The scope is to collect over the years geo* related terms in a multi-language style to facilitate reading/writing in other languages, to help with software internationalization, to help when writing proposals in non-mother-tongue languages (like me who has to write in Italian) etc.<br />
<br />
Example (this would be a dictionary software then): <br />
<br />
EN: landscape genetics<br />
IT: genetica del paesaggio<br />
DE: Landschaftsgenetik<br />
...<br />
<br />
Since we are an excellent group of experts covering many languages, we could run this as long-term Edu project.<br />
<br />
Once a reasonable amount of terms is available, download should be enabled in Docbook or other formats.<br />
<br />
== Software platform ==<br />
<br />
We could use the Wiktionary software (http://www.wiktionary.org/) and keep it just running. Possibly an OSGeo hacker could also fetch translations from Wikipedia from a handcrafted terms collection of terms to populate an initial dictionary (using the box on the left side which references translations).<br />
<br />
* Wiktionary is just using MediaWiki as all other WikiMedia sites (and this OSGeo wiki too). So, very easy to run.--[[User:Steko|steko]] 06:29, 13 November 2007 (EST)<br />
