===2) Continue to expand the &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 Geo for All Lab initiative is &amp;quot;Geo For All&amp;quot;.Central to &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; 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]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All 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.&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in joining or supporting  the &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; initiative? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA) &lt;br /&gt;
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil) &lt;br /&gt;
# Europe -  Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Peter Mooney (Ireland) &lt;br /&gt;
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India) &lt;br /&gt;
# Africa -  Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key requirements for  joining the &amp;quot;Geo for All Labs&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the Geo for All 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;__FORCETOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Introduction =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:&lt;br /&gt;
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See &amp;quot;login&amp;quot; link in top right of this page).&lt;br /&gt;
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.&lt;br /&gt;
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&amp;amp;action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).&lt;br /&gt;
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:&lt;br /&gt;
  {{User:&amp;lt;YourOSGeoWikiUserName&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =&lt;br /&gt;
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

= Past OSGeo Advocates =&lt;br /&gt;
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Understanding OSGeo roles =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====&lt;br /&gt;
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====&lt;br /&gt;
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====&lt;br /&gt;
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====&lt;br /&gt;
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Expenses =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:&lt;br /&gt;
* Travel, typically including:&lt;br /&gt;
** airfare&lt;br /&gt;
** visa&lt;br /&gt;
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)&lt;br /&gt;
** meals during travel&lt;br /&gt;
** transit costs to local and host airports&lt;br /&gt;
* Accommodation&lt;br /&gt;
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event&lt;br /&gt;
** high speed internet&lt;br /&gt;
* Per diem costs&lt;br /&gt;
** 3 meals a day&lt;br /&gt;
* Speakers fee&lt;br /&gt;
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;= Introduction =&lt;br /&gt;
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== General Information ==&lt;br /&gt;
During the [http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/ FOSS4G Europe 2015] conference in Como, Italy, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The 1-hour time blocks outlined below are just general guidelines. Adjust as needed. For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at [http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/Program http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/Program].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Rooms ===&lt;br /&gt;
We have available the three rooms of the conference (VS9, V08, V2.12) from 8 am up to 8 pm.&lt;br /&gt;

This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;quot;Geo For All&amp;quot;.Central to &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone.

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA) &lt;br /&gt;
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil) &lt;br /&gt;
# Europe -  Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Anne Ghilsa (Germany) &lt;br /&gt;
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India) &lt;br /&gt;
# Africa -  Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key requirements for establishing a local Lab and joining the &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software ,open data and open education in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

===2) Continue to expand the ICA-OSGeo Network ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This effort is led by Suchith Anand at the University of Nottingham, UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 and Research Centres across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software technologies, training and expertise.  It also aims to provide support for building-up and supporting development of open source GIS teaching and training materials, joint organization of open source GIS events, workshops through the ICA network for wider participation globally etc. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

== Interested in adding your own node into the ICA-OSGeo Labs network? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
# Anne Ghisla - Asia &amp;amp; Australia &lt;br /&gt;
# Helena Mitasova - North America&lt;br /&gt;
# Charlie Schweik - South America&lt;br /&gt;
# Suchith Anand - Europe &amp;amp; Africa&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Email Suchith.Anand at nottingham.ac.uk and cc Helena Mitasova ‎[hmitaso at ncsu.edu]‎, Charlie Schweik ‎[cschweik at pubpol.umass.edu]‎, Anne Ghisla [a.ghisla at gmail.com] to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The '''key requirements''' for establishing a local OSGL are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Both parties should work for the vision of the [[MOU_ICA|ICA-OSGeo MoU]] to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) Someone at your institution or organization should have a strong Geospatial knowledge and vision to lead this activity and build a team of people, locally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(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 the other nodes in the network and others to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From our end, we will promote the initiative widely through both OSGeo and ICA 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 (for example [http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/ the ELOGeo platform]). We will also add the info of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;''This project might be renamed to &amp;quot;Educational &amp;amp;amp; Curriculum&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Educational Outreach&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Learning Resources on GIS&amp;quot;.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mission  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project aims at creating and promoting curriculum material that supports the goals of the Foundation. The intent is to provide material that is accessible by a broad audience including academia, professionals, and the general public. Material supported through this project should directly or indirectly build and strengthen the open source geospatial user and developer communities. This can be accomplished by integrating the use of OSGeo endorsed tools in curricula that teach geospatial concepts and applications as well as the creating curricula to teach skills necessary for people to actively participate in supported OSGeo software and data projects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Database of educational material  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose setting up an open database, where the person interested (teacher or somebody seeking education for him/herself) makes some selections and is presented with a list of materials and links. There should be material for both preparing for the teaching/learning and for actually carrying out the teaching/learning. Material of the first type includes instructions to install software etc. thus there are links to tasks of other OSGeo projects. The data that describes the material should cover at least data needs, licencing, and (natural) language besides this information: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*type of education &lt;br /&gt;
*content of the education &lt;br /&gt;
*method of teaching/learning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== type of education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Links to other OSGeo efforts  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since teaching GIS is related to GIS data, the collaboration with [http://geodata.osgeo.org Public Geospatial Data Committee] is desired, in particular with the [[Geodata Packaging Working Group]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Licensing of teaching material  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The material developed here needs to be appropriately licensed. [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] licenses come to mind. This will be worked out once the committee is established. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A key component related to this whole effort (related to incentive structures for some) will be how we maintain author attribution over time. This might be as simple as establishing in every document produced a &amp;quot;change log&amp;quot; listing who developed the initial document, and then listing who contributed to new derivative works. Also we need to decide whether we want a standard way of developing curricular material (e.g., wiki pages, open office writer documents, etc.) or if we accept any format, is the wiki set up to allow for the upload of files? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And do we want to try and agree on one open content license that allows for new derivative works or do we want to have a set identified depending on the author's interests? For example, someone might be willing to provide a tutorial but not want new derivative works, while others may be open to having new derivatives works produced from their submission.

=== Comment on Wiki Communication Format  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Arnulf Christl|I]] am very happy that this discussion did not yet dissolve into a mailing list. I strongly believe that we should try to keep it in Wiki-style as long as possible. It is a lot easier to get an overview of what is going on this way. For more specific and short term notices one(!) mailing list will be good for sure, but especially for longer term development this Wiki will be more valuable. &lt;br /&gt;

I read Ned comments - if you look at NCGIA Core Curriculum, it is very broad, so I suggest to keep at least the word Curriculum there (drop Core)--if we want to stress education in general, how about calling it Education and Curriculum Project. It would be great if we could build a curriculum that people who teach at universities and colleges could use to build OSGEO courses and programs (NCGIA curriculum linked in the document is a good example). For example, if I had to teach geospatial analysis using GRASS, I am OK, but if I wanted to include a section about Mapserver a curriculum section prepared by somebody who has a lot of experience with it would be a great help. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Since I am new to this group and have been introduced via my email address, for the group's information let me give you a short status on what I am up to. I am a faculty at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the Department of Natural Resources Conservation. Right now I have two part-time students helping me develop some tutorials on Q-GIS. I have been teaching an Intro to GIS course for some time but am relatively new to OS GIS products, so I'll be learning. I am planning on offering in April-May sessions to my students an overview to Q-GIS, and then some tutorials on fundamentals like georeferencing a scanned map, online digitizing, getting GPS data overlaid, etc. I see this as an entry point toward the use of GRASS. My ultimate goal over the next 6-8 months is to have some kind of distance learning material developed for use in an &amp;quot;Intro to OS GIS&amp;quot; online course offered out of my institution next Spring 2007. Having done research in Nepal for several years, part of my motivation for doing this was to help my colleagues there who desperately need GIS but face serious budgetary problems. I am not exactly sure how this will work under the context of my University's distance learning program. But I am a great proponent of open access and hope to use some kind of open content license (e.g., creativecommons.org) and see great value in helping move this project forward by contributing the material here to this broader educational effort. I need to see what kinds of requirements my university has related to material and an &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; online course that might get in the way of this vision. I had always envisioned making my material available somehow (e.g., MIT Open Courseware, FreeGIS.org, etc.) so the establishment of this OSGeo Curriculum and Education project is exciting to me. In short, I hope I can figure out how to use what I am doing to help this project and perhaps through this effort whatever we develop can be improved by the community here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Ari Jolma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concerning the curriculum and education project in general. I think we don't want to do something similar as NCGIA website, which, by the way, is not linked to any specific software as far as I see. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try to be inpartial in my teaching, which is often difficult in this field and may lead to confusion on the students part sometimes on software issues. I also try to teach theory as opposed to practical use of software. So I have problems trying to figure out what is it that we should produce. I think tutorials like Gary's are good. Another good idea could be complete worked out examples, which the students can re-do, perhaps on their own time (distance learning) or without too much tutoring in a computer classroom. I've done a few like that (for example non-point source modeling and travel time analysis) but they still need quite a lot of tutoring. One problem I have is that as the software develops so fast (and I've used mostly my own..) the procedure changes slightly from year to year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using free tools in distance learning is really good because students can freely install their own copies of the software. On the other hand, for example my software is currently Linux-only, so it is not practical with many people. =&amp;amp;gt; There's a common interest with the OSGeo project creating installation packages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd like to have some sort of timetable and agreed ways of working: mostly email or mostly wiki? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Helena Mitasova (in response to Charlie)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My idea in that respect was to use it to outline what to teach in different units (that is what NCGIA does) and then link to it a material that shows how to do it in a specific software using selected data. So for example we can have a unit on DEMs and topographic analysis &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  - the Curriculum will outline what is included under that unit and that can then be linked to several materials:&lt;br /&gt;
 - general theory including equations and algorithms (this can be just a link to a relevant chapter in FreeGISBook)&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with GRASS&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with SAGA&lt;br /&gt;
 - whatever else will people contribute to support this unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this way we can minimize redundancy, cover number of different software packages and it will have an additional benefit that you can compare and see what would be the best for the class - e.g. topoanalysis in one package maybe more suited for natural resources students a different one would be better for computer science. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Curriculum, Education and Capacity Building initiatives related to OSGEO could be broken down to three (or more) phases &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 1 Short term (six months) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Assimilation of existing tutorial, lecture notes, training documents, presentations that are available or could be made available under Open Document or Creative Commons License.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Discuss how Curriculum can be structured with existing resources. Identify gaps for developing new material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 2 Medium term (one year) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Setup a e-learning portal (www.moodle.org) to manage existing course material and obtain user feedback. Have been experimenting with Moodle recently and we are trying to put together a online training course based on some of the material that we developed earlier. Could help with hosting a Moodle site if necessary (http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/elearn/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Develop multi-media contents (animations, screen casting), data set for tutorial etc to facilitate self-learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 3 Long term (two three years)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:a) Develop standardized mechanism for testing (question banks, quiz, assignments etc). Moodle is quite good for this purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Translation to local language and collection of datasets for geographic locations some language locales. Working with datasets that the candidate is familiar with can make learning easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:c) Initial review and improvement of contents and possible establishment of OSGEO Virtual University to cater to education, testing and certification of OSGEO Engineer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had discussed issues about Accredited Professional training before, I reproduce some of the thoughts below. An OSGEO-CE (OSGEO- Certified Engineer), something in the lines of, PostgreSQL-CE, RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer). Having a OSGEO with tie-ups to some Universities,Academic societies, Industry, that could &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) design and market courseware and educational material b) assure quality c) provide accreditation to institutions that will start the course and also training to instructors at such institutes. d) Evolve standardized mechanism for testing and certificate of candidates c) Issue acrredited certification to successful candidates and provide placement counseling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think there is a market for such packaged educational and career solutions at least in Asia. I know of at least a few institutes in Aiaa that have been set-up during the last two years and have successfully (at least in term of candidate intake, the course content leaves a lot to be desired) implemented similar business model for proprietary Geoinfomrtics solutions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among numerous benefits that such a initiative would bring about, the one most important would be that it would help generate a pool of qualified professionals and developer who could in turn enrich the OSGEO Community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some additional thoughts and info about Professional Certification for OSGEO &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) A Japanese company started a Professional certification for PostgreSQL since 1st March 2005. Details about the Certification are available at http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresqlce/about_en.html The testing is managed by Pearson VUE(http://www.vue.com/). Details are available at http://www.vue.com/sra/ As per http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresql-ce/news_en.html#20050224 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b)Linux Professional Certification (http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html) offers accredited training and conducts training thru LPI approved training center the worldover. Candidates can register to take LPI exams at Pearson VUE testing centres worldwide(http://www.vue.com/) and Thomson Prometric (http://securereg3.prometric.com/Welcome.aspx) &amp;quot;LPI holds special exam labs at major Linux and IT tradeshows and conferences around the world, often offering LPI certification exams for substantially reduced pricing or in some cases free of cost.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Bradford Learning (http://www.bradfordlearning.com/en/start_page.php) also offers LPI certification apart from various others including apache, samba, mysql etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) Some other listed as LPI sponsors (http://www.lpi.org/en/sponsors.html) also offer/manage Professional certification &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From David Hastings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if existing core curricula could be considered as relatively adequate (unless a further assessment determines otherwise). On the other hand, educational/training support for OSS has generally received bad press - and this group could help make considerable progress on that front. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't fully agree with the bad press about OSS support. Indeed, I seem to remember that Info World gave Red Hat Linux an award several years back for its support services - partly to counter that bad press. I personally found extensive support when I first used GRASS (in 1987), first became a GRASS system manager (in 1988), first installed Linux and put GRASS on my first dual-boot PC (in 1994), first stumbled across file-level interoperability between two GISs (1995, between GRASS and Idrisi byte data files), etc. Much support has been virtual, through searches of discussion group archives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, training support for OSS GIS could be stronger. I think this could be the greatest challenge, and opportunity, in the educational arena for an Open-Source Geospatial Foundation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My attempt to answer this during 1994-2002 was the CyberInstitute Short-Course in GIS, which ran additionally until sometime last year, 3 years after I departed Boulder for Bangkok and the UN. I think that such a general approach, strengthened by the ideas and circumstances of this Foundation, could be a useful piece in the puzzle of OSS educational/training support. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implementation of something like the CyberInstitute Short-Course could be part of Venka's outline item 1b in his discussion on implementation phases (2 discussions above this one). I'd suggest that the name (CyberInstitute Short-Course) be considered for continuation, as it gained a bit of respect over the decade-plus that it ran on the NOAA/NGDC Website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see my additional comments on the discussion page. &lt;br /&gt;

*From Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) What are the objectives of the Core Curriculum? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main focus would be on providing a solid foundation on Geoinformatics technology using OSGEO tools as a means of education and self-learning. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) Who will be the actual customer to adopt the core curriculum would it be the institution or organisation which would ultimately employ our graduates? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can think of regular and corporate sponsored training. Also focus on tailor-made courses. Direct marketing to potential clients would require lot of efforts. Maybe we need to think of providing packaged educational solutions (franchising) to institutions and universities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Which kind of institutions/companies would employ OSGEO Prodessionals? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geoinformatics industry, Government Institutions, NPO, NGO, Self-employed, Geo-contents service providers etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) What would be the entry strategy? Will it be with high end courses or low end courses – i.e. in terms of pricing, content, etc? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have to see what is presently available and at what cost. Most of info available from Google Search are summarized at http://www.institute.redlands.edu/kemp/certificates.html#Related. Details of two institutions presently offering courses in India are http://www.gisinstitute.net/upcoming.asp?id=27 http://www.mapmiddleeast.org/2006/conference/training.htm and http://www.symbiosis.ac.in/sig/course.htm. One example from Thailand is available at http://www.gac.ait.ac.th/training/catalog.php. Pricing info at these sites could be serve as reference in the Asian context. The course contents have to be decided after more discussions. I think the course should be modular introduced in a phased manner 6-8 weeks &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 1: Introduction to GIS and Web Mapping Technologies: Basically how to install, use, producing maps using OSGEO tools. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application User” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 2: Geo-spatial Database Development: Open data standards, GML, Remote Sensing, GPS, mobile GIS, RDBMS. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Spatial Database Manager” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 3: Advanced Module for Application Developers: Spatial data analysis using GRASS, Web GIS application development,using Mapserver Script languages, PHP, Javascript, Python. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application Developer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 4: Advanced Module for Software Developers Developing Geoinformatics software and cross-platform GIS solutions e.g. GRASS Programing &amp;amp;amp; Libraries, Data Exchange Libraries, C programming, Qt, Python, Plug-in development for QGIS. Software packaging (RPM etc.) Completion of this level will result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Geoinfromatics Engineer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Option to get a Master degree after completion for 4 Levels and conducting project research (in 16 to 18 weeks) could also be considered at a later stage. &lt;br /&gt;

The [[WhereGroup]] offers professional [http://www.wheregroup.com/en/training Training Services] for the FOSSGIS web services SDI stack that most of our customers need. It includes OSGeo software (Mapbender, MapServer, Quantum GIS, GDAL) and associated packages (GeoServer and PostGIS). This set of courses is designed to convey all information required to professionally operate an SDI stack most efficiently in a short period of time. Courses aim at professionals with previous knowledge in GIS, WebGIS and productive systems operation. This type of course differs from longer term learning followed by universities. The course material is currently published under several licenses at several places. The WhereGroup is in the process of homogenizing licenses and transferring course material and infrastructure to the OSGeo infrastructure. The first bits are already available at http://test.osgeo.net/moodle (Mapbender Introduction). All material can be used in any context including commercial use (for individual terms of use check the corresponding dual license CreativeCommons 2.0, GNU FDL). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I tend to agree with both Arnulf and Prof. Raghavan in that we have two general kinds of audience--those who are in &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; academia and those who are already in the professional fields trying to expand their knowledge. The latter require something that won't take a lot of their time--the materials they require could be dense/packed but it shouldn't take more than a week (or a day!) to complete (it could be a series of intense but short seminars). The former will of course need something that lasts an entire school term. These two general categories can be further broken into finer subcategories and most comments address that already. It would be nice if someone can summarize these comments and present this as a proposal for a curriculum/outreach committee... I'm partial to just calling this Education and Outreach Committee.&amp;amp;nbsp;:) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A couple other things... there's an overlap between this committee/project and the visibility committee and we ought to collaborate with that group in the areas where our aims meet. We should also promote the use of open geospatial data and should work with the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|Public Geospatial Data Committee]] group for our data needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Brandon Plewe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGEO does not need (nor is in a strong position) to create a curriculum. There are plenty of initiatives already existing to do that (if anything, it's already a bit diluted), such as the [http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/education/modelcurriculaproject.asp UCGIS GIS&amp;amp;amp;T Body of Knowledge]. What OSGEO should be doing is developing teaching/learning materials (labs, tutorials, datasets) that are aligned with these curricula, documenting connections between the general knowledge and OS technical solutions (e.g., &amp;quot;This skill can be performed with GRASS, this one with mapserver&amp;quot;), and getting involved in existing initiatives to make sure that they fairly consider open source solutions. For example, in the UCGIS initiative, we had to do a lot of work at the end to take out vendorese language and include things like mapping hacks. &lt;br /&gt;

I have been reading all the stuff posted on the wiki thus far. Lots of good stuff there. Like others who have tried to grapple with this, we have to be very clear about what we are trying to do. From the thoughts expressed thus far, the following possible objectives emerge -- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Promote understanding of GIS (I use GIS to encompass not just the software but also the related academic fields of geography, geodesy, geoinformatics, GI Science, and complementary fields of computer science, planning, statistics, whathaveyou). The academia already does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition and financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as a diluted version of rigorous academic training, sort of a lesser alternative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Promote open source. The entire open source world does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition, and some financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as motivated by some wayward zeal, clubbed with other anti-corporate sentiments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Promote the role of open source in GIS. This is where the committee and the community can play a valuable role. This can be done in various ways -- showcasing innovative projects, building collaborative partnerships with academia, convincing them to use open source tools for GIS education in their classrooms, providing packaged tools and datasets for consumption, and encouraging, suggesting, perhaps even making possible research on and using open source GIS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am personally not too sure about certification. The GIS Certification Institute [http://www.gisci.org/ GIS CI] is working in this area, but I feel certification tool-ifies the field, makes it more mechanical, a skill to be mastered rather than a subject to be explored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, lots to think about. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with you all on this. By the way, ecogs.osgeo.org is a possible website name for this committee (education curriculum open geo spatial) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A good account of institutes that offer GIS courses in India are http://www.gisdevelopment.net/education/inst/india.htm Most of these are from earth science departments. Even the list above is not comprahensive, for example Osmania university and Andhra University, which are not listed offer courses on Remote sensing with a good part in GIS. The training institute of the Geological Survey of India, Hyderabad, also offers extensive courses, in Remote sensing and Adwanced GIS. OSGEO can break some ice with a chosen few eminent organisations like G.S.I (Geological Survey of India) and a few eminent universities like Osmani University Hyderabad, Delhi University, to start with by offering or sponsering a course on Free-GIS with some assistance through a memorandum of understanding. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''This project might be renamed to &amp;quot;Educational &amp;amp;amp; Curriculum&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Educational Outreach&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Learning Resources on GIS&amp;quot;.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mission  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project aims at creating and promoting curriculum material that supports the goals of the Foundation. The intent is to provide material that is accessible by a broad audience including academia, professionals, and the general public. Material supported through this project should directly or indirectly build and strengthen the open source geospatial user and developer communities. This can be accomplished by integrating the use of OSGeo endorsed tools in curricula that teach geospatial concepts and applications as well as the creating curricula to teach skills necessary for people to actively participate in supported OSGeo software and data projects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Database of educational material  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose setting up an open database, where the person interested (teacher or somebody seeking education for him/herself) makes some selections and is presented with a list of materials and links. There should be material for both preparing for the teaching/learning and for actually carrying out the teaching/learning. Material of the first type includes instructions to install software etc. thus there are links to tasks of other OSGeo projects. The data that describes the material should cover at least data needs, licencing, and (natural) language besides this information: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*type of education &lt;br /&gt;
*content of the education &lt;br /&gt;
*method of teaching/learning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== type of education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*primary school (students are 7-12 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*secondary school (students are 13-15 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*high school (students are 16-18 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*vocational college &lt;br /&gt;
*university, bachelor level (undergraduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*university, masters level (graduate) &lt;br /&gt;

*vocational education (students do not have a college or university degree but they have work experience)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== content of the education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Links to other OSGeo efforts  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since teaching GIS is related to GIS data, the collaboration with [http://geodata.osgeo.org Public Geospatial Data Committee] is desired, in particular with the [[Geodata Packaging Working Group]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Licensing of teaching material  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The material developed here needs to be appropriately licensed. [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] licenses come to mind. This will be worked out once the committee is established. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A key component related to this whole effort (related to incentive structures for some) will be how we maintain author attribution over time. This might be as simple as establishing in every document produced a &amp;quot;change log&amp;quot; listing who developed the initial document, and then listing who contributed to new derivative works. Also we need to decide whether we want a standard way of developing curricular material (e.g., wiki pages, open office writer documents, etc.) or if we accept any format, is the wiki set up to allow for the upload of files? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And do we want to try and agree on one open content license that allows for new derivative works or do we want to have a set identified depending on the author's interests? For example, someone might be willing to provide a tutorial but not want new derivative works, while others may be open to having new derivatives works produced from their submission.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Comment on Wiki Communication Format  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Arnulf Christl|I]] am very happy that this discussion did not yet dissolve into a mailing list. I strongly believe that we should try to keep it in Wiki-style as long as possible. It is a lot easier to get an overview of what is going on this way. For more specific and short term notices one(!) mailing list will be good for sure, but especially for longer term development this Wiki will be more valuable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Helena Mitasova&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I read Ned comments - if you look at NCGIA Core Curriculum, it is very broad, so I suggest to keep at least the word Curriculum there (drop Core)--if we want to stress education in general, how about calling it Education and Curriculum Project. It would be great if we could build a curriculum that people who teach at universities and colleges could use to build OSGEO courses and programs (NCGIA curriculum linked in the document is a good example). For example, if I had to teach geospatial analysis using GRASS, I am OK, but if I wanted to include a section about Mapserver a curriculum section prepared by somebody who has a lot of experience with it would be a great help. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Charlie Schweik&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since I am new to this group and have been introduced via my email address, for the group's information let me give you a short status on what I am up to. I am a faculty at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the Department of Natural Resources Conservation. Right now I have two part-time students helping me develop some tutorials on Q-GIS. I have been teaching an Intro to GIS course for some time but am relatively new to OS GIS products, so I'll be learning. I am planning on offering in April-May sessions to my students an overview to Q-GIS, and then some tutorials on fundamentals like georeferencing a scanned map, online digitizing, getting GPS data overlaid, etc. I see this as an entry point toward the use of GRASS. My ultimate goal over the next 6-8 months is to have some kind of distance learning material developed for use in an &amp;quot;Intro to OS GIS&amp;quot; online course offered out of my institution next Spring 2007. Having done research in Nepal for several years, part of my motivation for doing this was to help my colleagues there who desperately need GIS but face serious budgetary problems. I am not exactly sure how this will work under the context of my University's distance learning program. But I am a great proponent of open access and hope to use some kind of open content license (e.g., creativecommons.org) and see great value in helping move this project forward by contributing the material here to this broader educational effort. I need to see what kinds of requirements my university has related to material and an &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; online course that might get in the way of this vision. I had always envisioned making my material available somehow (e.g., MIT Open Courseware, FreeGIS.org, etc.) so the establishment of this OSGeo Curriculum and Education project is exciting to me. In short, I hope I can figure out how to use what I am doing to help this project and perhaps through this effort whatever we develop can be improved by the community here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Ari Jolma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concerning the curriculum and education project in general. I think we don't want to do something similar as NCGIA website, which, by the way, is not linked to any specific software as far as I see. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try to be inpartial in my teaching, which is often difficult in this field and may lead to confusion on the students part sometimes on software issues. I also try to teach theory as opposed to practical use of software. So I have problems trying to figure out what is it that we should produce. I think tutorials like Gary's are good. Another good idea could be complete worked out examples, which the students can re-do, perhaps on their own time (distance learning) or without too much tutoring in a computer classroom. I've done a few like that (for example non-point source modeling and travel time analysis) but they still need quite a lot of tutoring. One problem I have is that as the software develops so fast (and I've used mostly my own..) the procedure changes slightly from year to year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using free tools in distance learning is really good because students can freely install their own copies of the software. On the other hand, for example my software is currently Linux-only, so it is not practical with many people. =&amp;amp;gt; There's a common interest with the OSGeo project creating installation packages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd like to have some sort of timetable and agreed ways of working: mostly email or mostly wiki? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Helena Mitasova (in response to Charlie)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My idea in that respect was to use it to outline what to teach in different units (that is what NCGIA does) and then link to it a material that shows how to do it in a specific software using selected data. So for example we can have a unit on DEMs and topographic analysis &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  - the Curriculum will outline what is included under that unit and that can then be linked to several materials:&lt;br /&gt;
 - general theory including equations and algorithms (this can be just a link to a relevant chapter in FreeGISBook)&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with GRASS&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with SAGA&lt;br /&gt;
 - whatever else will people contribute to support this unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this way we can minimize redundancy, cover number of different software packages and it will have an additional benefit that you can compare and see what would be the best for the class - e.g. topoanalysis in one package maybe more suited for natural resources students a different one would be better for computer science. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Curriculum, Education and Capacity Building initiatives related to OSGEO could be broken down to three (or more) phases &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 1 Short term (six months) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Assimilation of existing tutorial, lecture notes, training documents, presentations that are available or could be made available under Open Document or Creative Commons License.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Discuss how Curriculum can be structured with existing resources. Identify gaps for developing new material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 2 Medium term (one year) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Setup a e-learning portal (www.moodle.org) to manage existing course material and obtain user feedback. Have been experimenting with Moodle recently and we are trying to put together a online training course based on some of the material that we developed earlier. Could help with hosting a Moodle site if necessary (http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/elearn/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Develop multi-media contents (animations, screen casting), data set for tutorial etc to facilitate self-learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 3 Long term (two three years)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:a) Develop standardized mechanism for testing (question banks, quiz, assignments etc). Moodle is quite good for this purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Translation to local language and collection of datasets for geographic locations some language locales. Working with datasets that the candidate is familiar with can make learning easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:c) Initial review and improvement of contents and possible establishment of OSGEO Virtual University to cater to education, testing and certification of OSGEO Engineer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had discussed issues about Accredited Professional training before, I reproduce some of the thoughts below. An OSGEO-CE (OSGEO- Certified Engineer), something in the lines of, PostgreSQL-CE, RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer). Having a OSGEO with tie-ups to some Universities,Academic societies, Industry, that could &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) design and market courseware and educational material b) assure quality c) provide accreditation to institutions that will start the course and also training to instructors at such institutes. d) Evolve standardized mechanism for testing and certificate of candidates c) Issue acrredited certification to successful candidates and provide placement counseling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think there is a market for such packaged educational and career solutions at least in Asia. I know of at least a few institutes in Aiaa that have been set-up during the last two years and have successfully (at least in term of candidate intake, the course content leaves a lot to be desired) implemented similar business model for proprietary Geoinfomrtics solutions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among numerous benefits that such a initiative would bring about, the one most important would be that it would help generate a pool of qualified professionals and developer who could in turn enrich the OSGEO Community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some additional thoughts and info about Professional Certification for OSGEO &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) A Japanese company started a Professional certification for PostgreSQL since 1st March 2005. Details about the Certification are available at http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresqlce/about_en.html The testing is managed by Pearson VUE(http://www.vue.com/). Details are available at http://www.vue.com/sra/ As per http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresql-ce/news_en.html#20050224 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b)Linux Professional Certification (http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html) offers accredited training and conducts training thru LPI approved training center the worldover. Candidates can register to take LPI exams at Pearson VUE testing centres worldwide(http://www.vue.com/) and Thomson Prometric (http://securereg3.prometric.com/Welcome.aspx) &amp;quot;LPI holds special exam labs at major Linux and IT tradeshows and conferences around the world, often offering LPI certification exams for substantially reduced pricing or in some cases free of cost.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Bradford Learning (http://www.bradfordlearning.com/en/start_page.php) also offers LPI certification apart from various others including apache, samba, mysql etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) Some other listed as LPI sponsors (http://www.lpi.org/en/sponsors.html) also offer/manage Professional certification &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From David Hastings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if existing core curricula could be considered as relatively adequate (unless a further assessment determines otherwise). On the other hand, educational/training support for OSS has generally received bad press - and this group could help make considerable progress on that front. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't fully agree with the bad press about OSS support. Indeed, I seem to remember that Info World gave Red Hat Linux an award several years back for its support services - partly to counter that bad press. I personally found extensive support when I first used GRASS (in 1987), first became a GRASS system manager (in 1988), first installed Linux and put GRASS on my first dual-boot PC (in 1994), first stumbled across file-level interoperability between two GISs (1995, between GRASS and Idrisi byte data files), etc. Much support has been virtual, through searches of discussion group archives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, training support for OSS GIS could be stronger. I think this could be the greatest challenge, and opportunity, in the educational arena for an Open-Source Geospatial Foundation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My attempt to answer this during 1994-2002 was the CyberInstitute Short-Course in GIS, which ran additionally until sometime last year, 3 years after I departed Boulder for Bangkok and the UN. I think that such a general approach, strengthened by the ideas and circumstances of this Foundation, could be a useful piece in the puzzle of OSS educational/training support. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implementation of something like the CyberInstitute Short-Course could be part of Venka's outline item 1b in his discussion on implementation phases (2 discussions above this one). I'd suggest that the name (CyberInstitute Short-Course) be considered for continuation, as it gained a bit of respect over the decade-plus that it ran on the NOAA/NGDC Website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see my additional comments on the discussion page. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) What are the objectives of the Core Curriculum? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main focus would be on providing a solid foundation on Geoinformatics technology using OSGEO tools as a means of education and self-learning. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) Who will be the actual customer to adopt the core curriculum would it be the institution or organisation which would ultimately employ our graduates? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can think of regular and corporate sponsored training. Also focus on tailor-made courses. Direct marketing to potential clients would require lot of efforts. Maybe we need to think of providing packaged educational solutions (franchising) to institutions and universities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Which kind of institutions/companies would employ OSGEO Prodessionals? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geoinformatics industry, Government Institutions, NPO, NGO, Self-employed, Geo-contents service providers etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) What would be the entry strategy? Will it be with high end courses or low end courses – i.e. in terms of pricing, content, etc? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have to see what is presently available and at what cost. Most of info available from Google Search are summarized at http://www.institute.redlands.edu/kemp/certificates.html#Related. Details of two institutions presently offering courses in India are http://www.gisinstitute.net/upcoming.asp?id=27 http://www.mapmiddleeast.org/2006/conference/training.htm and http://www.symbiosis.ac.in/sig/course.htm. One example from Thailand is available at http://www.gac.ait.ac.th/training/catalog.php. Pricing info at these sites could be serve as reference in the Asian context. The course contents have to be decided after more discussions. I think the course should be modular introduced in a phased manner 6-8 weeks &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 1: Introduction to GIS and Web Mapping Technologies: Basically how to install, use, producing maps using OSGEO tools. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application User” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 2: Geo-spatial Database Development: Open data standards, GML, Remote Sensing, GPS, mobile GIS, RDBMS. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Spatial Database Manager” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 3: Advanced Module for Application Developers: Spatial data analysis using GRASS, Web GIS application development,using Mapserver Script languages, PHP, Javascript, Python. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application Developer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 4: Advanced Module for Software Developers Developing Geoinformatics software and cross-platform GIS solutions e.g. GRASS Programing &amp;amp;amp; Libraries, Data Exchange Libraries, C programming, Qt, Python, Plug-in development for QGIS. Software packaging (RPM etc.) Completion of this level will result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Geoinfromatics Engineer” &lt;br /&gt;

Option to get a Master degree after completion for 4 Levels and conducting project research (in 16 to 18 weeks) could also be considered at a later stage. &lt;br /&gt;

The [[WhereGroup]] offers professional [http://www.wheregroup.com/en/training Training Services] for the FOSSGIS web services SDI stack that most of our customers need. It includes OSGeo software (Mapbender, MapServer, Quantum GIS, GDAL) and associated packages (GeoServer and PostGIS). This set of courses is designed to convey all information required to professionally operate an SDI stack most efficiently in a short period of time. Courses aim at professionals with previous knowledge in GIS, WebGIS and productive systems operation. This type of course differs from longer term learning followed by universities. The course material is currently published under several licenses at several places. The WhereGroup is in the process of homogenizing licenses and transferring course material and infrastructure to the OSGeo infrastructure. The first bits are already available at http://test.osgeo.net/moodle (Mapbender Introduction). All material can be used in any context including commercial use (for individual terms of use check the corresponding dual license CreativeCommons 2.0, GNU FDL). &lt;br /&gt;

I tend to agree with both Arnulf and Prof. Raghavan in that we have two general kinds of audience--those who are in &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; academia and those who are already in the professional fields trying to expand their knowledge. The latter require something that won't take a lot of their time--the materials they require could be dense/packed but it shouldn't take more than a week (or a day!) to complete (it could be a series of intense but short seminars). The former will of course need something that lasts an entire school term. These two general categories can be further broken into finer subcategories and most comments address that already. It would be nice if someone can summarize these comments and present this as a proposal for a curriculum/outreach committee... I'm partial to just calling this Education and Outreach Committee.&amp;amp;nbsp;:) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A couple other things... there's an overlap between this committee/project and the visibility committee and we ought to collaborate with that group in the areas where our aims meet. We should also promote the use of open geospatial data and should work with the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|Public Geospatial Data Committee]] group for our data needs. &lt;br /&gt;

OSGEO does not need (nor is in a strong position) to create a curriculum. There are plenty of initiatives already existing to do that (if anything, it's already a bit diluted), such as the [http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/education/modelcurriculaproject.asp UCGIS GIS&amp;amp;amp;T Body of Knowledge]. What OSGEO should be doing is developing teaching/learning materials (labs, tutorials, datasets) that are aligned with these curricula, documenting connections between the general knowledge and OS technical solutions (e.g., &amp;quot;This skill can be performed with GRASS, this one with mapserver&amp;quot;), and getting involved in existing initiatives to make sure that they fairly consider open source solutions. For example, in the UCGIS initiative, we had to do a lot of work at the end to take out vendorese language and include things like mapping hacks. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have been reading all the stuff posted on the wiki thus far. Lots of good stuff there. Like others who have tried to grapple with this, we have to be very clear about what we are trying to do. From the thoughts expressed thus far, the following possible objectives emerge -- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Promote understanding of GIS (I use GIS to encompass not just the software but also the related academic fields of geography, geodesy, geoinformatics, GI Science, and complementary fields of computer science, planning, statistics, whathaveyou). The academia already does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition and financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as a diluted version of rigorous academic training, sort of a lesser alternative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Promote open source. The entire open source world does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition, and some financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as motivated by some wayward zeal, clubbed with other anti-corporate sentiments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Promote the role of open source in GIS. This is where the committee and the community can play a valuable role. This can be done in various ways -- showcasing innovative projects, building collaborative partnerships with academia, convincing them to use open source tools for GIS education in their classrooms, providing packaged tools and datasets for consumption, and encouraging, suggesting, perhaps even making possible research on and using open source GIS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am personally not too sure about certification. The GIS Certification Institute [http://www.gisci.org/ GIS CI] is working in this area, but I feel certification tool-ifies the field, makes it more mechanical, a skill to be mastered rather than a subject to be explored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, lots to think about. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with you all on this. By the way, ecogs.osgeo.org is a possible website name for this committee (education curriculum open geo spatial) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A good account of institutes that offer GIS courses in India are http://www.gisdevelopment.net/education/inst/india.htm Most of these are from earth science departments. Even the list above is not comprahensive, for example Osmania university and Andhra University, which are not listed offer courses on Remote sensing with a good part in GIS. The training institute of the Geological Survey of India, Hyderabad, also offers extensive courses, in Remote sensing and Adwanced GIS. OSGEO can break some ice with a chosen few eminent organisations like G.S.I (Geological Survey of India) and a few eminent universities like Osmani University Hyderabad, Delhi University, to start with by offering or sponsering a course on Free-GIS with some assistance through a memorandum of understanding. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''This project might be renamed to &amp;quot;Educational &amp;amp;amp; Curriculum&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Educational Outreach&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Learning Resources on GIS&amp;quot;.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mission  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project aims at creating and promoting curriculum material that supports the goals of the Foundation. The intent is to provide material that is accessible by a broad audience including academia, professionals, and the general public. Material supported through this project should directly or indirectly build and strengthen the open source geospatial user and developer communities. This can be accomplished by integrating the use of OSGeo endorsed tools in curricula that teach geospatial concepts and applications as well as the creating curricula to teach skills necessary for people to actively participate in supported OSGeo software and data projects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Database of educational material  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose setting up an open database, where the person interested (teacher or somebody seeking education for him/herself) makes some selections and is presented with a list of materials and links. There should be material for both preparing for the teaching/learning and for actually carrying out the teaching/learning. Material of the first type includes instructions to install software etc. thus there are links to tasks of other OSGeo projects. The data that describes the material should cover at least data needs, licencing, and (natural) language besides this information: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*type of education &lt;br /&gt;
*content of the education &lt;br /&gt;
*method of teaching/learning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== type of education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*primary school (students are 7-12 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*secondary school (students are 13-15 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*high school (students are 16-18 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*vocational college &lt;br /&gt;
*university, bachelor level (undergraduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*university, masters level (graduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*university, doctoral level (graduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*continuing education (students have a college or university degree and work experience) &lt;br /&gt;
*vocational education (students do not have a college or university degree but they have work experience)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== content of the education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These could be divided into two main categories according to main viewpoint: applied or core geoinformatics. &lt;br /&gt;

*self-learning, project work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Links to other OSGeo efforts  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since teaching GIS is related to GIS data, the collaboration with [http://geodata.osgeo.org Public Geospatial Data Committee] is desired, in particular with the [[Geodata Packaging Working Group]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Licensing of teaching material  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The material developed here needs to be appropriately licensed. [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] licenses come to mind. This will be worked out once the committee is established. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A key component related to this whole effort (related to incentive structures for some) will be how we maintain author attribution over time. This might be as simple as establishing in every document produced a &amp;quot;change log&amp;quot; listing who developed the initial document, and then listing who contributed to new derivative works. Also we need to decide whether we want a standard way of developing curricular material (e.g., wiki pages, open office writer documents, etc.) or if we accept any format, is the wiki set up to allow for the upload of files? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And do we want to try and agree on one open content license that allows for new derivative works or do we want to have a set identified depending on the author's interests? For example, someone might be willing to provide a tutorial but not want new derivative works, while others may be open to having new derivatives works produced from their submission.

== Comments  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Comment on Wiki Communication Format  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Arnulf Christl|I]] am very happy that this discussion did not yet dissolve into a mailing list. I strongly believe that we should try to keep it in Wiki-style as long as possible. It is a lot easier to get an overview of what is going on this way. For more specific and short term notices one(!) mailing list will be good for sure, but especially for longer term development this Wiki will be more valuable. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I read Ned comments - if you look at NCGIA Core Curriculum, it is very broad, so I suggest to keep at least the word Curriculum there (drop Core)--if we want to stress education in general, how about calling it Education and Curriculum Project. It would be great if we could build a curriculum that people who teach at universities and colleges could use to build OSGEO courses and programs (NCGIA curriculum linked in the document is a good example). For example, if I had to teach geospatial analysis using GRASS, I am OK, but if I wanted to include a section about Mapserver a curriculum section prepared by somebody who has a lot of experience with it would be a great help. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Charlie Schweik&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since I am new to this group and have been introduced via my email address, for the group's information let me give you a short status on what I am up to. I am a faculty at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the Department of Natural Resources Conservation. Right now I have two part-time students helping me develop some tutorials on Q-GIS. I have been teaching an Intro to GIS course for some time but am relatively new to OS GIS products, so I'll be learning. I am planning on offering in April-May sessions to my students an overview to Q-GIS, and then some tutorials on fundamentals like georeferencing a scanned map, online digitizing, getting GPS data overlaid, etc. I see this as an entry point toward the use of GRASS. My ultimate goal over the next 6-8 months is to have some kind of distance learning material developed for use in an &amp;quot;Intro to OS GIS&amp;quot; online course offered out of my institution next Spring 2007. Having done research in Nepal for several years, part of my motivation for doing this was to help my colleagues there who desperately need GIS but face serious budgetary problems. I am not exactly sure how this will work under the context of my University's distance learning program. But I am a great proponent of open access and hope to use some kind of open content license (e.g., creativecommons.org) and see great value in helping move this project forward by contributing the material here to this broader educational effort. I need to see what kinds of requirements my university has related to material and an &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; online course that might get in the way of this vision. I had always envisioned making my material available somehow (e.g., MIT Open Courseware, FreeGIS.org, etc.) so the establishment of this OSGeo Curriculum and Education project is exciting to me. In short, I hope I can figure out how to use what I am doing to help this project and perhaps through this effort whatever we develop can be improved by the community here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Ari Jolma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concerning the curriculum and education project in general. I think we don't want to do something similar as NCGIA website, which, by the way, is not linked to any specific software as far as I see. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try to be inpartial in my teaching, which is often difficult in this field and may lead to confusion on the students part sometimes on software issues. I also try to teach theory as opposed to practical use of software. So I have problems trying to figure out what is it that we should produce. I think tutorials like Gary's are good. Another good idea could be complete worked out examples, which the students can re-do, perhaps on their own time (distance learning) or without too much tutoring in a computer classroom. I've done a few like that (for example non-point source modeling and travel time analysis) but they still need quite a lot of tutoring. One problem I have is that as the software develops so fast (and I've used mostly my own..) the procedure changes slightly from year to year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using free tools in distance learning is really good because students can freely install their own copies of the software. On the other hand, for example my software is currently Linux-only, so it is not practical with many people. =&amp;amp;gt; There's a common interest with the OSGeo project creating installation packages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd like to have some sort of timetable and agreed ways of working: mostly email or mostly wiki? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Helena Mitasova (in response to Charlie)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My idea in that respect was to use it to outline what to teach in different units (that is what NCGIA does) and then link to it a material that shows how to do it in a specific software using selected data. So for example we can have a unit on DEMs and topographic analysis &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  - the Curriculum will outline what is included under that unit and that can then be linked to several materials:&lt;br /&gt;
 - general theory including equations and algorithms (this can be just a link to a relevant chapter in FreeGISBook)&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with GRASS&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with SAGA&lt;br /&gt;
 - whatever else will people contribute to support this unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this way we can minimize redundancy, cover number of different software packages and it will have an additional benefit that you can compare and see what would be the best for the class - e.g. topoanalysis in one package maybe more suited for natural resources students a different one would be better for computer science. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Curriculum, Education and Capacity Building initiatives related to OSGEO could be broken down to three (or more) phases &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 1 Short term (six months) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Assimilation of existing tutorial, lecture notes, training documents, presentations that are available or could be made available under Open Document or Creative Commons License.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Discuss how Curriculum can be structured with existing resources. Identify gaps for developing new material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 2 Medium term (one year) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Setup a e-learning portal (www.moodle.org) to manage existing course material and obtain user feedback. Have been experimenting with Moodle recently and we are trying to put together a online training course based on some of the material that we developed earlier. Could help with hosting a Moodle site if necessary (http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/elearn/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Develop multi-media contents (animations, screen casting), data set for tutorial etc to facilitate self-learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 3 Long term (two three years)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:a) Develop standardized mechanism for testing (question banks, quiz, assignments etc). Moodle is quite good for this purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Translation to local language and collection of datasets for geographic locations some language locales. Working with datasets that the candidate is familiar with can make learning easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:c) Initial review and improvement of contents and possible establishment of OSGEO Virtual University to cater to education, testing and certification of OSGEO Engineer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We had discussed issues about Accredited Professional training before, I reproduce some of the thoughts below. An OSGEO-CE (OSGEO- Certified Engineer), something in the lines of, PostgreSQL-CE, RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer). Having a OSGEO with tie-ups to some Universities,Academic societies, Industry, that could &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) design and market courseware and educational material b) assure quality c) provide accreditation to institutions that will start the course and also training to instructors at such institutes. d) Evolve standardized mechanism for testing and certificate of candidates c) Issue acrredited certification to successful candidates and provide placement counseling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think there is a market for such packaged educational and career solutions at least in Asia. I know of at least a few institutes in Aiaa that have been set-up during the last two years and have successfully (at least in term of candidate intake, the course content leaves a lot to be desired) implemented similar business model for proprietary Geoinfomrtics solutions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among numerous benefits that such a initiative would bring about, the one most important would be that it would help generate a pool of qualified professionals and developer who could in turn enrich the OSGEO Community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some additional thoughts and info about Professional Certification for OSGEO &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) A Japanese company started a Professional certification for PostgreSQL since 1st March 2005. Details about the Certification are available at http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresqlce/about_en.html The testing is managed by Pearson VUE(http://www.vue.com/). Details are available at http://www.vue.com/sra/ As per http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresql-ce/news_en.html#20050224 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b)Linux Professional Certification (http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html) offers accredited training and conducts training thru LPI approved training center the worldover. Candidates can register to take LPI exams at Pearson VUE testing centres worldwide(http://www.vue.com/) and Thomson Prometric (http://securereg3.prometric.com/Welcome.aspx) &amp;quot;LPI holds special exam labs at major Linux and IT tradeshows and conferences around the world, often offering LPI certification exams for substantially reduced pricing or in some cases free of cost.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Bradford Learning (http://www.bradfordlearning.com/en/start_page.php) also offers LPI certification apart from various others including apache, samba, mysql etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) Some other listed as LPI sponsors (http://www.lpi.org/en/sponsors.html) also offer/manage Professional certification &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

*From David Hastings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if existing core curricula could be considered as relatively adequate (unless a further assessment determines otherwise). On the other hand, educational/training support for OSS has generally received bad press - and this group could help make considerable progress on that front. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't fully agree with the bad press about OSS support. Indeed, I seem to remember that Info World gave Red Hat Linux an award several years back for its support services - partly to counter that bad press. I personally found extensive support when I first used GRASS (in 1987), first became a GRASS system manager (in 1988), first installed Linux and put GRASS on my first dual-boot PC (in 1994), first stumbled across file-level interoperability between two GISs (1995, between GRASS and Idrisi byte data files), etc. Much support has been virtual, through searches of discussion group archives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, training support for OSS GIS could be stronger. I think this could be the greatest challenge, and opportunity, in the educational arena for an Open-Source Geospatial Foundation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My attempt to answer this during 1994-2002 was the CyberInstitute Short-Course in GIS, which ran additionally until sometime last year, 3 years after I departed Boulder for Bangkok and the UN. I think that such a general approach, strengthened by the ideas and circumstances of this Foundation, could be a useful piece in the puzzle of OSS educational/training support. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implementation of something like the CyberInstitute Short-Course could be part of Venka's outline item 1b in his discussion on implementation phases (2 discussions above this one). I'd suggest that the name (CyberInstitute Short-Course) be considered for continuation, as it gained a bit of respect over the decade-plus that it ran on the NOAA/NGDC Website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see my additional comments on the discussion page. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
a) What are the objectives of the Core Curriculum? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main focus would be on providing a solid foundation on Geoinformatics technology using OSGEO tools as a means of education and self-learning. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) Who will be the actual customer to adopt the core curriculum would it be the institution or organisation which would ultimately employ our graduates? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can think of regular and corporate sponsored training. Also focus on tailor-made courses. Direct marketing to potential clients would require lot of efforts. Maybe we need to think of providing packaged educational solutions (franchising) to institutions and universities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Which kind of institutions/companies would employ OSGEO Prodessionals? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geoinformatics industry, Government Institutions, NPO, NGO, Self-employed, Geo-contents service providers etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) What would be the entry strategy? Will it be with high end courses or low end courses – i.e. in terms of pricing, content, etc? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have to see what is presently available and at what cost. Most of info available from Google Search are summarized at http://www.institute.redlands.edu/kemp/certificates.html#Related. Details of two institutions presently offering courses in India are http://www.gisinstitute.net/upcoming.asp?id=27 http://www.mapmiddleeast.org/2006/conference/training.htm and http://www.symbiosis.ac.in/sig/course.htm. One example from Thailand is available at http://www.gac.ait.ac.th/training/catalog.php. Pricing info at these sites could be serve as reference in the Asian context. The course contents have to be decided after more discussions. I think the course should be modular introduced in a phased manner 6-8 weeks &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 1: Introduction to GIS and Web Mapping Technologies: Basically how to install, use, producing maps using OSGEO tools. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application User” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 2: Geo-spatial Database Development: Open data standards, GML, Remote Sensing, GPS, mobile GIS, RDBMS. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Spatial Database Manager” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 3: Advanced Module for Application Developers: Spatial data analysis using GRASS, Web GIS application development,using Mapserver Script languages, PHP, Javascript, Python. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application Developer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 4: Advanced Module for Software Developers Developing Geoinformatics software and cross-platform GIS solutions e.g. GRASS Programing &amp;amp;amp; Libraries, Data Exchange Libraries, C programming, Qt, Python, Plug-in development for QGIS. Software packaging (RPM etc.) Completion of this level will result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Geoinfromatics Engineer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Option to get a Master degree after completion for 4 Levels and conducting project research (in 16 to 18 weeks) could also be considered at a later stage. &lt;br /&gt;

The [[WhereGroup]] offers professional [http://www.wheregroup.com/en/training Training Services] for the FOSSGIS web services SDI stack that most of our customers need. It includes OSGeo software (Mapbender, MapServer, Quantum GIS, GDAL) and associated packages (GeoServer and PostGIS). This set of courses is designed to convey all information required to professionally operate an SDI stack most efficiently in a short period of time. Courses aim at professionals with previous knowledge in GIS, WebGIS and productive systems operation. This type of course differs from longer term learning followed by universities. The course material is currently published under several licenses at several places. The WhereGroup is in the process of homogenizing licenses and transferring course material and infrastructure to the OSGeo infrastructure. The first bits are already available at http://test.osgeo.net/moodle (Mapbender Introduction). All material can be used in any context including commercial use (for individual terms of use check the corresponding dual license CreativeCommons 2.0, GNU FDL). &lt;br /&gt;

*From [[User:Pnaciona|Perry Nacionales]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tend to agree with both Arnulf and Prof. Raghavan in that we have two general kinds of audience--those who are in &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; academia and those who are already in the professional fields trying to expand their knowledge. The latter require something that won't take a lot of their time--the materials they require could be dense/packed but it shouldn't take more than a week (or a day!) to complete (it could be a series of intense but short seminars). The former will of course need something that lasts an entire school term. These two general categories can be further broken into finer subcategories and most comments address that already. It would be nice if someone can summarize these comments and present this as a proposal for a curriculum/outreach committee... I'm partial to just calling this Education and Outreach Committee.&amp;amp;nbsp;:) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A couple other things... there's an overlap between this committee/project and the visibility committee and we ought to collaborate with that group in the areas where our aims meet. We should also promote the use of open geospatial data and should work with the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|Public Geospatial Data Committee]] group for our data needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Brandon Plewe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGEO does not need (nor is in a strong position) to create a curriculum. There are plenty of initiatives already existing to do that (if anything, it's already a bit diluted), such as the [http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/education/modelcurriculaproject.asp UCGIS GIS&amp;amp;amp;T Body of Knowledge]. What OSGEO should be doing is developing teaching/learning materials (labs, tutorials, datasets) that are aligned with these curricula, documenting connections between the general knowledge and OS technical solutions (e.g., &amp;quot;This skill can be performed with GRASS, this one with mapserver&amp;quot;), and getting involved in existing initiatives to make sure that they fairly consider open source solutions. For example, in the UCGIS initiative, we had to do a lot of work at the end to take out vendorese language and include things like mapping hacks. &lt;br /&gt;

*From [[User:Punkish|Puneet Kishor]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have been reading all the stuff posted on the wiki thus far. Lots of good stuff there. Like others who have tried to grapple with this, we have to be very clear about what we are trying to do. From the thoughts expressed thus far, the following possible objectives emerge -- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Promote understanding of GIS (I use GIS to encompass not just the software but also the related academic fields of geography, geodesy, geoinformatics, GI Science, and complementary fields of computer science, planning, statistics, whathaveyou). The academia already does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition and financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as a diluted version of rigorous academic training, sort of a lesser alternative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Promote open source. The entire open source world does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition, and some financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as motivated by some wayward zeal, clubbed with other anti-corporate sentiments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Promote the role of open source in GIS. This is where the committee and the community can play a valuable role. This can be done in various ways -- showcasing innovative projects, building collaborative partnerships with academia, convincing them to use open source tools for GIS education in their classrooms, providing packaged tools and datasets for consumption, and encouraging, suggesting, perhaps even making possible research on and using open source GIS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am personally not too sure about certification. The GIS Certification Institute [http://www.gisci.org/ GIS CI] is working in this area, but I feel certification tool-ifies the field, makes it more mechanical, a skill to be mastered rather than a subject to be explored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, lots to think about. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with you all on this. By the way, ecogs.osgeo.org is a possible website name for this committee (education curriculum open geo spatial) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A good account of institutes that offer GIS courses in India are http://www.gisdevelopment.net/education/inst/india.htm Most of these are from earth science departments. Even the list above is not comprahensive, for example Osmania university and Andhra University, which are not listed offer courses on Remote sensing with a good part in GIS. The training institute of the Geological Survey of India, Hyderabad, also offers extensive courses, in Remote sensing and Adwanced GIS. OSGEO can break some ice with a chosen few eminent organisations like G.S.I (Geological Survey of India) and a few eminent universities like Osmani University Hyderabad, Delhi University, to start with by offering or sponsering a course on Free-GIS with some assistance through a memorandum of understanding. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''This project might be renamed to &amp;quot;Educational &amp;amp;amp; Curriculum&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Educational Outreach&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Learning Resources on GIS&amp;quot;.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mission  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project aims at creating and promoting curriculum material that supports the goals of the Foundation. The intent is to provide material that is accessible by a broad audience including academia, professionals, and the general public. Material supported through this project should directly or indirectly build and strengthen the open source geospatial user and developer communities. This can be accomplished by integrating the use of OSGeo endorsed tools in curricula that teach geospatial concepts and applications as well as the creating curricula to teach skills necessary for people to actively participate in supported OSGeo software and data projects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Database of educational material  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose setting up an open database, where the person interested (teacher or somebody seeking education for him/herself) makes some selections and is presented with a list of materials and links. There should be material for both preparing for the teaching/learning and for actually carrying out the teaching/learning. Material of the first type includes instructions to install software etc. thus there are links to tasks of other OSGeo projects. The data that describes the material should cover at least data needs, licencing, and (natural) language besides this information: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*type of education &lt;br /&gt;
*content of the education &lt;br /&gt;
*method of teaching/learning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== type of education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*primary school (students are 7-12 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*secondary school (students are 13-15 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*high school (students are 16-18 years old) &lt;br /&gt;
*vocational college &lt;br /&gt;
*university, bachelor level (undergraduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*university, masters level (graduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*university, doctoral level (graduate) &lt;br /&gt;
*continuing education (students have a college or university degree and work experience) &lt;br /&gt;
*vocational education (students do not have a college or university degree but they have work experience)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== content of the education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These could be divided into two main categories according to main viewpoint: applied or core geoinformatics. &lt;br /&gt;

*self-learning, reading &lt;br /&gt;
*self-learning, using software &lt;br /&gt;
*self-learning, project work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Links to other OSGeo efforts  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since teaching GIS is related to GIS data, the collaboration with [http://geodata.osgeo.org Public Geospatial Data Committee] is desired, in particular with the [[Geodata Packaging Working Group]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Licensing of teaching material  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The material developed here needs to be appropriately licensed. [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] licenses come to mind. This will be worked out once the committee is established. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A key component related to this whole effort (related to incentive structures for some) will be how we maintain author attribution over time. This might be as simple as establishing in every document produced a &amp;quot;change log&amp;quot; listing who developed the initial document, and then listing who contributed to new derivative works. Also we need to decide whether we want a standard way of developing curricular material (e.g., wiki pages, open office writer documents, etc.) or if we accept any format, is the wiki set up to allow for the upload of files? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And do we want to try and agree on one open content license that allows for new derivative works or do we want to have a set identified depending on the author's interests? For example, someone might be willing to provide a tutorial but not want new derivative works, while others may be open to having new derivatives works produced from their submission.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Comment on Wiki Communication Format  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Arnulf Christl|I]] am very happy that this discussion did not yet dissolve into a mailing list. I strongly believe that we should try to keep it in Wiki-style as long as possible. It is a lot easier to get an overview of what is going on this way. For more specific and short term notices one(!) mailing list will be good for sure, but especially for longer term development this Wiki will be more valuable. &lt;br /&gt;

I read Ned comments - if you look at NCGIA Core Curriculum, it is very broad, so I suggest to keep at least the word Curriculum there (drop Core)--if we want to stress education in general, how about calling it Education and Curriculum Project. It would be great if we could build a curriculum that people who teach at universities and colleges could use to build OSGEO courses and programs (NCGIA curriculum linked in the document is a good example). For example, if I had to teach geospatial analysis using GRASS, I am OK, but if I wanted to include a section about Mapserver a curriculum section prepared by somebody who has a lot of experience with it would be a great help. &lt;br /&gt;

Since I am new to this group and have been introduced via my email address, for the group's information let me give you a short status on what I am up to. I am a faculty at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the Department of Natural Resources Conservation. Right now I have two part-time students helping me develop some tutorials on Q-GIS. I have been teaching an Intro to GIS course for some time but am relatively new to OS GIS products, so I'll be learning. I am planning on offering in April-May sessions to my students an overview to Q-GIS, and then some tutorials on fundamentals like georeferencing a scanned map, online digitizing, getting GPS data overlaid, etc. I see this as an entry point toward the use of GRASS. My ultimate goal over the next 6-8 months is to have some kind of distance learning material developed for use in an &amp;quot;Intro to OS GIS&amp;quot; online course offered out of my institution next Spring 2007. Having done research in Nepal for several years, part of my motivation for doing this was to help my colleagues there who desperately need GIS but face serious budgetary problems. I am not exactly sure how this will work under the context of my University's distance learning program. But I am a great proponent of open access and hope to use some kind of open content license (e.g., creativecommons.org) and see great value in helping move this project forward by contributing the material here to this broader educational effort. I need to see what kinds of requirements my university has related to material and an &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; online course that might get in the way of this vision. I had always envisioned making my material available somehow (e.g., MIT Open Courseware, FreeGIS.org, etc.) so the establishment of this OSGeo Curriculum and Education project is exciting to me. In short, I hope I can figure out how to use what I am doing to help this project and perhaps through this effort whatever we develop can be improved by the community here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Ari Jolma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concerning the curriculum and education project in general. I think we don't want to do something similar as NCGIA website, which, by the way, is not linked to any specific software as far as I see. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try to be inpartial in my teaching, which is often difficult in this field and may lead to confusion on the students part sometimes on software issues. I also try to teach theory as opposed to practical use of software. So I have problems trying to figure out what is it that we should produce. I think tutorials like Gary's are good. Another good idea could be complete worked out examples, which the students can re-do, perhaps on their own time (distance learning) or without too much tutoring in a computer classroom. I've done a few like that (for example non-point source modeling and travel time analysis) but they still need quite a lot of tutoring. One problem I have is that as the software develops so fast (and I've used mostly my own..) the procedure changes slightly from year to year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using free tools in distance learning is really good because students can freely install their own copies of the software. On the other hand, for example my software is currently Linux-only, so it is not practical with many people. =&amp;amp;gt; There's a common interest with the OSGeo project creating installation packages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd like to have some sort of timetable and agreed ways of working: mostly email or mostly wiki? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Helena Mitasova (in response to Charlie)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My idea in that respect was to use it to outline what to teach in different units (that is what NCGIA does) and then link to it a material that shows how to do it in a specific software using selected data. So for example we can have a unit on DEMs and topographic analysis &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  - the Curriculum will outline what is included under that unit and that can then be linked to several materials:&lt;br /&gt;
 - general theory including equations and algorithms (this can be just a link to a relevant chapter in FreeGISBook)&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with GRASS&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with SAGA&lt;br /&gt;
 - whatever else will people contribute to support this unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this way we can minimize redundancy, cover number of different software packages and it will have an additional benefit that you can compare and see what would be the best for the class - e.g. topoanalysis in one package maybe more suited for natural resources students a different one would be better for computer science. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Curriculum, Education and Capacity Building initiatives related to OSGEO could be broken down to three (or more) phases &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 1 Short term (six months) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Assimilation of existing tutorial, lecture notes, training documents, presentations that are available or could be made available under Open Document or Creative Commons License.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Discuss how Curriculum can be structured with existing resources. Identify gaps for developing new material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 2 Medium term (one year) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Setup a e-learning portal (www.moodle.org) to manage existing course material and obtain user feedback. Have been experimenting with Moodle recently and we are trying to put together a online training course based on some of the material that we developed earlier. Could help with hosting a Moodle site if necessary (http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/elearn/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Develop multi-media contents (animations, screen casting), data set for tutorial etc to facilitate self-learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 3 Long term (two three years)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:a) Develop standardized mechanism for testing (question banks, quiz, assignments etc). Moodle is quite good for this purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Translation to local language and collection of datasets for geographic locations some language locales. Working with datasets that the candidate is familiar with can make learning easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:c) Initial review and improvement of contents and possible establishment of OSGEO Virtual University to cater to education, testing and certification of OSGEO Engineer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had discussed issues about Accredited Professional training before, I reproduce some of the thoughts below. An OSGEO-CE (OSGEO- Certified Engineer), something in the lines of, PostgreSQL-CE, RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer). Having a OSGEO with tie-ups to some Universities,Academic societies, Industry, that could &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) design and market courseware and educational material b) assure quality c) provide accreditation to institutions that will start the course and also training to instructors at such institutes. d) Evolve standardized mechanism for testing and certificate of candidates c) Issue acrredited certification to successful candidates and provide placement counseling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think there is a market for such packaged educational and career solutions at least in Asia. I know of at least a few institutes in Aiaa that have been set-up during the last two years and have successfully (at least in term of candidate intake, the course content leaves a lot to be desired) implemented similar business model for proprietary Geoinfomrtics solutions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among numerous benefits that such a initiative would bring about, the one most important would be that it would help generate a pool of qualified professionals and developer who could in turn enrich the OSGEO Community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some additional thoughts and info about Professional Certification for OSGEO &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) A Japanese company started a Professional certification for PostgreSQL since 1st March 2005. Details about the Certification are available at http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresqlce/about_en.html The testing is managed by Pearson VUE(http://www.vue.com/). Details are available at http://www.vue.com/sra/ As per http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresql-ce/news_en.html#20050224 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b)Linux Professional Certification (http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html) offers accredited training and conducts training thru LPI approved training center the worldover. Candidates can register to take LPI exams at Pearson VUE testing centres worldwide(http://www.vue.com/) and Thomson Prometric (http://securereg3.prometric.com/Welcome.aspx) &amp;quot;LPI holds special exam labs at major Linux and IT tradeshows and conferences around the world, often offering LPI certification exams for substantially reduced pricing or in some cases free of cost.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Bradford Learning (http://www.bradfordlearning.com/en/start_page.php) also offers LPI certification apart from various others including apache, samba, mysql etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) Some other listed as LPI sponsors (http://www.lpi.org/en/sponsors.html) also offer/manage Professional certification &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From David Hastings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if existing core curricula could be considered as relatively adequate (unless a further assessment determines otherwise). On the other hand, educational/training support for OSS has generally received bad press - and this group could help make considerable progress on that front. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't fully agree with the bad press about OSS support. Indeed, I seem to remember that Info World gave Red Hat Linux an award several years back for its support services - partly to counter that bad press. I personally found extensive support when I first used GRASS (in 1987), first became a GRASS system manager (in 1988), first installed Linux and put GRASS on my first dual-boot PC (in 1994), first stumbled across file-level interoperability between two GISs (1995, between GRASS and Idrisi byte data files), etc. Much support has been virtual, through searches of discussion group archives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, training support for OSS GIS could be stronger. I think this could be the greatest challenge, and opportunity, in the educational arena for an Open-Source Geospatial Foundation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My attempt to answer this during 1994-2002 was the CyberInstitute Short-Course in GIS, which ran additionally until sometime last year, 3 years after I departed Boulder for Bangkok and the UN. I think that such a general approach, strengthened by the ideas and circumstances of this Foundation, could be a useful piece in the puzzle of OSS educational/training support. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implementation of something like the CyberInstitute Short-Course could be part of Venka's outline item 1b in his discussion on implementation phases (2 discussions above this one). I'd suggest that the name (CyberInstitute Short-Course) be considered for continuation, as it gained a bit of respect over the decade-plus that it ran on the NOAA/NGDC Website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see my additional comments on the discussion page. &lt;br /&gt;

*From Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) What are the objectives of the Core Curriculum? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main focus would be on providing a solid foundation on Geoinformatics technology using OSGEO tools as a means of education and self-learning. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) Who will be the actual customer to adopt the core curriculum would it be the institution or organisation which would ultimately employ our graduates? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can think of regular and corporate sponsored training. Also focus on tailor-made courses. Direct marketing to potential clients would require lot of efforts. Maybe we need to think of providing packaged educational solutions (franchising) to institutions and universities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Which kind of institutions/companies would employ OSGEO Prodessionals? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geoinformatics industry, Government Institutions, NPO, NGO, Self-employed, Geo-contents service providers etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) What would be the entry strategy? Will it be with high end courses or low end courses – i.e. in terms of pricing, content, etc? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have to see what is presently available and at what cost. Most of info available from Google Search are summarized at http://www.institute.redlands.edu/kemp/certificates.html#Related. Details of two institutions presently offering courses in India are http://www.gisinstitute.net/upcoming.asp?id=27 http://www.mapmiddleeast.org/2006/conference/training.htm and http://www.symbiosis.ac.in/sig/course.htm. One example from Thailand is available at http://www.gac.ait.ac.th/training/catalog.php. Pricing info at these sites could be serve as reference in the Asian context. The course contents have to be decided after more discussions. I think the course should be modular introduced in a phased manner 6-8 weeks &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 1: Introduction to GIS and Web Mapping Technologies: Basically how to install, use, producing maps using OSGEO tools. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application User” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 2: Geo-spatial Database Development: Open data standards, GML, Remote Sensing, GPS, mobile GIS, RDBMS. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Spatial Database Manager” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 3: Advanced Module for Application Developers: Spatial data analysis using GRASS, Web GIS application development,using Mapserver Script languages, PHP, Javascript, Python. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application Developer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 4: Advanced Module for Software Developers Developing Geoinformatics software and cross-platform GIS solutions e.g. GRASS Programing &amp;amp;amp; Libraries, Data Exchange Libraries, C programming, Qt, Python, Plug-in development for QGIS. Software packaging (RPM etc.) Completion of this level will result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Geoinfromatics Engineer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Option to get a Master degree after completion for 4 Levels and conducting project research (in 16 to 18 weeks) could also be considered at a later stage. &lt;br /&gt;

The [[WhereGroup]] offers professional [http://www.wheregroup.com/en/training Training Services] for the FOSSGIS web services SDI stack that most of our customers need. It includes OSGeo software (Mapbender, MapServer, Quantum GIS, GDAL) and associated packages (GeoServer and PostGIS). This set of courses is designed to convey all information required to professionally operate an SDI stack most efficiently in a short period of time. Courses aim at professionals with previous knowledge in GIS, WebGIS and productive systems operation. This type of course differs from longer term learning followed by universities. The course material is currently published under several licenses at several places. The WhereGroup is in the process of homogenizing licenses and transferring course material and infrastructure to the OSGeo infrastructure. The first bits are already available at http://test.osgeo.net/moodle (Mapbender Introduction). All material can be used in any context including commercial use (for individual terms of use check the corresponding dual license CreativeCommons 2.0, GNU FDL). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From [[User:Pnaciona|Perry Nacionales]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tend to agree with both Arnulf and Prof. Raghavan in that we have two general kinds of audience--those who are in &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; academia and those who are already in the professional fields trying to expand their knowledge. The latter require something that won't take a lot of their time--the materials they require could be dense/packed but it shouldn't take more than a week (or a day!) to complete (it could be a series of intense but short seminars). The former will of course need something that lasts an entire school term. These two general categories can be further broken into finer subcategories and most comments address that already. It would be nice if someone can summarize these comments and present this as a proposal for a curriculum/outreach committee... I'm partial to just calling this Education and Outreach Committee.&amp;amp;nbsp;:) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A couple other things... there's an overlap between this committee/project and the visibility committee and we ought to collaborate with that group in the areas where our aims meet. We should also promote the use of open geospatial data and should work with the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|Public Geospatial Data Committee]] group for our data needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Brandon Plewe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGEO does not need (nor is in a strong position) to create a curriculum. There are plenty of initiatives already existing to do that (if anything, it's already a bit diluted), such as the [http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/education/modelcurriculaproject.asp UCGIS GIS&amp;amp;amp;T Body of Knowledge]. What OSGEO should be doing is developing teaching/learning materials (labs, tutorials, datasets) that are aligned with these curricula, documenting connections between the general knowledge and OS technical solutions (e.g., &amp;quot;This skill can be performed with GRASS, this one with mapserver&amp;quot;), and getting involved in existing initiatives to make sure that they fairly consider open source solutions. For example, in the UCGIS initiative, we had to do a lot of work at the end to take out vendorese language and include things like mapping hacks. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have been reading all the stuff posted on the wiki thus far. Lots of good stuff there. Like others who have tried to grapple with this, we have to be very clear about what we are trying to do. From the thoughts expressed thus far, the following possible objectives emerge -- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Promote understanding of GIS (I use GIS to encompass not just the software but also the related academic fields of geography, geodesy, geoinformatics, GI Science, and complementary fields of computer science, planning, statistics, whathaveyou). The academia already does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition and financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as a diluted version of rigorous academic training, sort of a lesser alternative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Promote open source. The entire open source world does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition, and some financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as motivated by some wayward zeal, clubbed with other anti-corporate sentiments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Promote the role of open source in GIS. This is where the committee and the community can play a valuable role. This can be done in various ways -- showcasing innovative projects, building collaborative partnerships with academia, convincing them to use open source tools for GIS education in their classrooms, providing packaged tools and datasets for consumption, and encouraging, suggesting, perhaps even making possible research on and using open source GIS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am personally not too sure about certification. The GIS Certification Institute [http://www.gisci.org/ GIS CI] is working in this area, but I feel certification tool-ifies the field, makes it more mechanical, a skill to be mastered rather than a subject to be explored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, lots to think about. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with you all on this. By the way, ecogs.osgeo.org is a possible website name for this committee (education curriculum open geo spatial) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

A good account of institutes that offer GIS courses in India are http://www.gisdevelopment.net/education/inst/india.htm Most of these are from earth science departments. Even the list above is not comprahensive, for example Osmania university and Andhra University, which are not listed offer courses on Remote sensing with a good part in GIS. The training institute of the Geological Survey of India, Hyderabad, also offers extensive courses, in Remote sensing and Adwanced GIS. OSGEO can break some ice with a chosen few eminent organisations like G.S.I (Geological Survey of India) and a few eminent universities like Osmani University Hyderabad, Delhi University, to start with by offering or sponsering a course on Free-GIS with some assistance through a memorandum of understanding. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''This project might be renamed to &amp;quot;Educational &amp;amp;amp; Curriculum&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Educational Outreach&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Learning Resources on GIS&amp;quot;.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mission  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project aims at creating and promoting curriculum material that supports the goals of the Foundation. The intent is to provide material that is accessible by a broad audience including academia, professionals, and the general public. Material supported through this project should directly or indirectly build and strengthen the open source geospatial user and developer communities. This can be accomplished by integrating the use of OSGeo endorsed tools in curricula that teach geospatial concepts and applications as well as the creating curricula to teach skills necessary for people to actively participate in supported OSGeo software and data projects. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The project is now officially approved as [[Education and Curriculum Committee]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Database of educational material  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose setting up an open database, where the person interested (teacher or somebody seeking education for him/herself) makes some selections and is presented with a list of materials and links. There should be material for both preparing for the teaching/learning and for actually carrying out the teaching/learning. Material of the first type includes instructions to install software etc. thus there are links to tasks of other OSGeo projects. The data that describes the material should cover at least data needs, licencing, and (natural) language besides this information: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*type of education &lt;br /&gt;
*content of the education &lt;br /&gt;
*method of teaching/learning&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== type of education  ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*primary school (students are 7-12 years old) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Links to other OSGeo efforts  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since teaching GIS is related to GIS data, the collaboration with [http://geodata.osgeo.org Public Geospatial Data Committee] is desired, in particular with the [[Geodata Packaging Working Group]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Licensing of teaching material  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The material developed here needs to be appropriately licensed. [http://creativecommons.org Creative Commons] licenses come to mind. This will be worked out once the committee is established. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A key component related to this whole effort (related to incentive structures for some) will be how we maintain author attribution over time. This might be as simple as establishing in every document produced a &amp;quot;change log&amp;quot; listing who developed the initial document, and then listing who contributed to new derivative works. Also we need to decide whether we want a standard way of developing curricular material (e.g., wiki pages, open office writer documents, etc.) or if we accept any format, is the wiki set up to allow for the upload of files? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And do we want to try and agree on one open content license that allows for new derivative works or do we want to have a set identified depending on the author's interests? For example, someone might be willing to provide a tutorial but not want new derivative works, while others may be open to having new derivatives works produced from their submission.

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Comment on Wiki Communication Format  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Arnulf Christl|I]] am very happy that this discussion did not yet dissolve into a mailing list. I strongly believe that we should try to keep it in Wiki-style as long as possible. It is a lot easier to get an overview of what is going on this way. For more specific and short term notices one(!) mailing list will be good for sure, but especially for longer term development this Wiki will be more valuable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I read Ned comments - if you look at NCGIA Core Curriculum, it is very broad, so I suggest to keep at least the word Curriculum there (drop Core)--if we want to stress education in general, how about calling it Education and Curriculum Project. It would be great if we could build a curriculum that people who teach at universities and colleges could use to build OSGEO courses and programs (NCGIA curriculum linked in the document is a good example). For example, if I had to teach geospatial analysis using GRASS, I am OK, but if I wanted to include a section about Mapserver a curriculum section prepared by somebody who has a lot of experience with it would be a great help. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Since I am new to this group and have been introduced via my email address, for the group's information let me give you a short status on what I am up to. I am a faculty at University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the Department of Natural Resources Conservation. Right now I have two part-time students helping me develop some tutorials on Q-GIS. I have been teaching an Intro to GIS course for some time but am relatively new to OS GIS products, so I'll be learning. I am planning on offering in April-May sessions to my students an overview to Q-GIS, and then some tutorials on fundamentals like georeferencing a scanned map, online digitizing, getting GPS data overlaid, etc. I see this as an entry point toward the use of GRASS. My ultimate goal over the next 6-8 months is to have some kind of distance learning material developed for use in an &amp;quot;Intro to OS GIS&amp;quot; online course offered out of my institution next Spring 2007. Having done research in Nepal for several years, part of my motivation for doing this was to help my colleagues there who desperately need GIS but face serious budgetary problems. I am not exactly sure how this will work under the context of my University's distance learning program. But I am a great proponent of open access and hope to use some kind of open content license (e.g., creativecommons.org) and see great value in helping move this project forward by contributing the material here to this broader educational effort. I need to see what kinds of requirements my university has related to material and an &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; online course that might get in the way of this vision. I had always envisioned making my material available somehow (e.g., MIT Open Courseware, FreeGIS.org, etc.) so the establishment of this OSGeo Curriculum and Education project is exciting to me. In short, I hope I can figure out how to use what I am doing to help this project and perhaps through this effort whatever we develop can be improved by the community here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Ari Jolma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Concerning the curriculum and education project in general. I think we don't want to do something similar as NCGIA website, which, by the way, is not linked to any specific software as far as I see. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try to be inpartial in my teaching, which is often difficult in this field and may lead to confusion on the students part sometimes on software issues. I also try to teach theory as opposed to practical use of software. So I have problems trying to figure out what is it that we should produce. I think tutorials like Gary's are good. Another good idea could be complete worked out examples, which the students can re-do, perhaps on their own time (distance learning) or without too much tutoring in a computer classroom. I've done a few like that (for example non-point source modeling and travel time analysis) but they still need quite a lot of tutoring. One problem I have is that as the software develops so fast (and I've used mostly my own..) the procedure changes slightly from year to year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using free tools in distance learning is really good because students can freely install their own copies of the software. On the other hand, for example my software is currently Linux-only, so it is not practical with many people. =&amp;amp;gt; There's a common interest with the OSGeo project creating installation packages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd like to have some sort of timetable and agreed ways of working: mostly email or mostly wiki? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Helena Mitasova (in response to Charlie)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My idea in that respect was to use it to outline what to teach in different units (that is what NCGIA does) and then link to it a material that shows how to do it in a specific software using selected data. So for example we can have a unit on DEMs and topographic analysis &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  - the Curriculum will outline what is included under that unit and that can then be linked to several materials:&lt;br /&gt;
 - general theory including equations and algorithms (this can be just a link to a relevant chapter in FreeGISBook)&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with GRASS&lt;br /&gt;
 - teaching material for use with SAGA&lt;br /&gt;
 - whatever else will people contribute to support this unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this way we can minimize redundancy, cover number of different software packages and it will have an additional benefit that you can compare and see what would be the best for the class - e.g. topoanalysis in one package maybe more suited for natural resources students a different one would be better for computer science. &lt;br /&gt;

*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Curriculum, Education and Capacity Building initiatives related to OSGEO could be broken down to three (or more) phases &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 1 Short term (six months) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Assimilation of existing tutorial, lecture notes, training documents, presentations that are available or could be made available under Open Document or Creative Commons License.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Discuss how Curriculum can be structured with existing resources. Identify gaps for developing new material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 2 Medium term (one year) &lt;br /&gt;
:a) Setup a e-learning portal (www.moodle.org) to manage existing course material and obtain user feedback. Have been experimenting with Moodle recently and we are trying to put together a online training course based on some of the material that we developed earlier. Could help with hosting a Moodle site if necessary (http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/elearn/)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Develop multi-media contents (animations, screen casting), data set for tutorial etc to facilitate self-learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;Phase 3 Long term (two three years)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:a) Develop standardized mechanism for testing (question banks, quiz, assignments etc). Moodle is quite good for this purpose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:b) Translation to local language and collection of datasets for geographic locations some language locales. Working with datasets that the candidate is familiar with can make learning easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:c) Initial review and improvement of contents and possible establishment of OSGEO Virtual University to cater to education, testing and certification of OSGEO Engineer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Prof. Venkatesh Raghavan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had discussed issues about Accredited Professional training before, I reproduce some of the thoughts below. An OSGEO-CE (OSGEO- Certified Engineer), something in the lines of, PostgreSQL-CE, RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer). Having a OSGEO with tie-ups to some Universities,Academic societies, Industry, that could &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) design and market courseware and educational material b) assure quality c) provide accreditation to institutions that will start the course and also training to instructors at such institutes. d) Evolve standardized mechanism for testing and certificate of candidates c) Issue acrredited certification to successful candidates and provide placement counseling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think there is a market for such packaged educational and career solutions at least in Asia. I know of at least a few institutes in Aiaa that have been set-up during the last two years and have successfully (at least in term of candidate intake, the course content leaves a lot to be desired) implemented similar business model for proprietary Geoinfomrtics solutions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among numerous benefits that such a initiative would bring about, the one most important would be that it would help generate a pool of qualified professionals and developer who could in turn enrich the OSGEO Community. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some additional thoughts and info about Professional Certification for OSGEO &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a) A Japanese company started a Professional certification for PostgreSQL since 1st March 2005. Details about the Certification are available at http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresqlce/about_en.html The testing is managed by Pearson VUE(http://www.vue.com/). Details are available at http://www.vue.com/sra/ As per http://osb.sra.co.jp/postgresql-ce/news_en.html#20050224 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b)Linux Professional Certification (http://www.lpi.org/en/home.html) offers accredited training and conducts training thru LPI approved training center the worldover. Candidates can register to take LPI exams at Pearson VUE testing centres worldwide(http://www.vue.com/) and Thomson Prometric (http://securereg3.prometric.com/Welcome.aspx) &amp;quot;LPI holds special exam labs at major Linux and IT tradeshows and conferences around the world, often offering LPI certification exams for substantially reduced pricing or in some cases free of cost.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Bradford Learning (http://www.bradfordlearning.com/en/start_page.php) also offers LPI certification apart from various others including apache, samba, mysql etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) Some other listed as LPI sponsors (http://www.lpi.org/en/sponsors.html) also offer/manage Professional certification &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From David Hastings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if existing core curricula could be considered as relatively adequate (unless a further assessment determines otherwise). On the other hand, educational/training support for OSS has generally received bad press - and this group could help make considerable progress on that front. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't fully agree with the bad press about OSS support. Indeed, I seem to remember that Info World gave Red Hat Linux an award several years back for its support services - partly to counter that bad press. I personally found extensive support when I first used GRASS (in 1987), first became a GRASS system manager (in 1988), first installed Linux and put GRASS on my first dual-boot PC (in 1994), first stumbled across file-level interoperability between two GISs (1995, between GRASS and Idrisi byte data files), etc. Much support has been virtual, through searches of discussion group archives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, training support for OSS GIS could be stronger. I think this could be the greatest challenge, and opportunity, in the educational arena for an Open-Source Geospatial Foundation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My attempt to answer this during 1994-2002 was the CyberInstitute Short-Course in GIS, which ran additionally until sometime last year, 3 years after I departed Boulder for Bangkok and the UN. I think that such a general approach, strengthened by the ideas and circumstances of this Foundation, could be a useful piece in the puzzle of OSS educational/training support. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implementation of something like the CyberInstitute Short-Course could be part of Venka's outline item 1b in his discussion on implementation phases (2 discussions above this one). I'd suggest that the name (CyberInstitute Short-Course) be considered for continuation, as it gained a bit of respect over the decade-plus that it ran on the NOAA/NGDC Website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see my additional comments on the discussion page. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
a) What are the objectives of the Core Curriculum? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main focus would be on providing a solid foundation on Geoinformatics technology using OSGEO tools as a means of education and self-learning. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
b) Who will be the actual customer to adopt the core curriculum would it be the institution or organisation which would ultimately employ our graduates? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We can think of regular and corporate sponsored training. Also focus on tailor-made courses. Direct marketing to potential clients would require lot of efforts. Maybe we need to think of providing packaged educational solutions (franchising) to institutions and universities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
c) Which kind of institutions/companies would employ OSGEO Prodessionals? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geoinformatics industry, Government Institutions, NPO, NGO, Self-employed, Geo-contents service providers etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
d) What would be the entry strategy? Will it be with high end courses or low end courses – i.e. in terms of pricing, content, etc? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have to see what is presently available and at what cost. Most of info available from Google Search are summarized at http://www.institute.redlands.edu/kemp/certificates.html#Related. Details of two institutions presently offering courses in India are http://www.gisinstitute.net/upcoming.asp?id=27 http://www.mapmiddleeast.org/2006/conference/training.htm and http://www.symbiosis.ac.in/sig/course.htm. One example from Thailand is available at http://www.gac.ait.ac.th/training/catalog.php. Pricing info at these sites could be serve as reference in the Asian context. The course contents have to be decided after more discussions. I think the course should be modular introduced in a phased manner 6-8 weeks &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 1: Introduction to GIS and Web Mapping Technologies: Basically how to install, use, producing maps using OSGEO tools. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application User” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 2: Geo-spatial Database Development: Open data standards, GML, Remote Sensing, GPS, mobile GIS, RDBMS. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Spatial Database Manager” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 3: Advanced Module for Application Developers: Spatial data analysis using GRASS, Web GIS application development,using Mapserver Script languages, PHP, Javascript, Python. Completion of this level could result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Application Developer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level 4: Advanced Module for Software Developers Developing Geoinformatics software and cross-platform GIS solutions e.g. GRASS Programing &amp;amp;amp; Libraries, Data Exchange Libraries, C programming, Qt, Python, Plug-in development for QGIS. Software packaging (RPM etc.) Completion of this level will result in certification as “XXXYYY Certified Geoinfromatics Engineer” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Option to get a Master degree after completion for 4 Levels and conducting project research (in 16 to 18 weeks) could also be considered at a later stage. &lt;br /&gt;

The [[WhereGroup]] offers professional [http://www.wheregroup.com/en/training Training Services] for the FOSSGIS web services SDI stack that most of our customers need. It includes OSGeo software (Mapbender, MapServer, Quantum GIS, GDAL) and associated packages (GeoServer and PostGIS). This set of courses is designed to convey all information required to professionally operate an SDI stack most efficiently in a short period of time. Courses aim at professionals with previous knowledge in GIS, WebGIS and productive systems operation. This type of course differs from longer term learning followed by universities. The course material is currently published under several licenses at several places. The WhereGroup is in the process of homogenizing licenses and transferring course material and infrastructure to the OSGeo infrastructure. The first bits are already available at http://test.osgeo.net/moodle (Mapbender Introduction). All material can be used in any context including commercial use (for individual terms of use check the corresponding dual license CreativeCommons 2.0, GNU FDL). &lt;br /&gt;

*From [[User:Pnaciona|Perry Nacionales]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tend to agree with both Arnulf and Prof. Raghavan in that we have two general kinds of audience--those who are in &amp;quot;formal&amp;quot; academia and those who are already in the professional fields trying to expand their knowledge. The latter require something that won't take a lot of their time--the materials they require could be dense/packed but it shouldn't take more than a week (or a day!) to complete (it could be a series of intense but short seminars). The former will of course need something that lasts an entire school term. These two general categories can be further broken into finer subcategories and most comments address that already. It would be nice if someone can summarize these comments and present this as a proposal for a curriculum/outreach committee... I'm partial to just calling this Education and Outreach Committee.&amp;amp;nbsp;:) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A couple other things... there's an overlap between this committee/project and the visibility committee and we ought to collaborate with that group in the areas where our aims meet. We should also promote the use of open geospatial data and should work with the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|Public Geospatial Data Committee]] group for our data needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*From Brandon Plewe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGEO does not need (nor is in a strong position) to create a curriculum. There are plenty of initiatives already existing to do that (if anything, it's already a bit diluted), such as the [http://www.ucgis.org/priorities/education/modelcurriculaproject.asp UCGIS GIS&amp;amp;amp;T Body of Knowledge]. What OSGEO should be doing is developing teaching/learning materials (labs, tutorials, datasets) that are aligned with these curricula, documenting connections between the general knowledge and OS technical solutions (e.g., &amp;quot;This skill can be performed with GRASS, this one with mapserver&amp;quot;), and getting involved in existing initiatives to make sure that they fairly consider open source solutions. For example, in the UCGIS initiative, we had to do a lot of work at the end to take out vendorese language and include things like mapping hacks. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have been reading all the stuff posted on the wiki thus far. Lots of good stuff there. Like others who have tried to grapple with this, we have to be very clear about what we are trying to do. From the thoughts expressed thus far, the following possible objectives emerge -- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Promote understanding of GIS (I use GIS to encompass not just the software but also the related academic fields of geography, geodesy, geoinformatics, GI Science, and complementary fields of computer science, planning, statistics, whathaveyou). The academia already does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition and financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as a diluted version of rigorous academic training, sort of a lesser alternative. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Promote open source. The entire open source world does so, mostly very well, and with a lot of recognition, and some financial and institutional backing. The danger in us doing this is that we come off as motivated by some wayward zeal, clubbed with other anti-corporate sentiments. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Promote the role of open source in GIS. This is where the committee and the community can play a valuable role. This can be done in various ways -- showcasing innovative projects, building collaborative partnerships with academia, convincing them to use open source tools for GIS education in their classrooms, providing packaged tools and datasets for consumption, and encouraging, suggesting, perhaps even making possible research on and using open source GIS. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am personally not too sure about certification. The GIS Certification Institute [http://www.gisci.org/ GIS CI] is working in this area, but I feel certification tool-ifies the field, makes it more mechanical, a skill to be mastered rather than a subject to be explored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, lots to think about. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with you all on this. By the way, ecogs.osgeo.org is a possible website name for this committee (education curriculum open geo spatial) &lt;br /&gt;

A good account of institutes that offer GIS courses in India are http://www.gisdevelopment.net/education/inst/india.htm Most of these are from earth science departments. Even the list above is not comprahensive, for example Osmania university and Andhra University, which are not listed offer courses on Remote sensing with a good part in GIS. The training institute of the Geological Survey of India, Hyderabad, also offers extensive courses, in Remote sensing and Adwanced GIS. OSGEO can break some ice with a chosen few eminent organisations like G.S.I (Geological Survey of India) and a few eminent universities like Osmani University Hyderabad, Delhi University, to start with by offering or sponsering a course on Free-GIS with some assistance through a memorandum of understanding. &lt;br /&gt;
