New page

There is a possibility to get funding for an OSGeo educational project. This page is for brainstorming and developing the proposal. The proposal should be only few pages, describe the general idea of the project and contain a set of separate but coordinated components. From each of these component projects we should be able to produce a more detailed, but also only a few pages long, description, if asked.

== The General Idea ==

Develop open geospatial courseware for universities, which build on free and open source geospatial software and on free data sets.

The courseware consists of

* installation packages of selected software that are readily usable in typical university settings
* two kind of data sets
** those that are usable over the internet using standard protocols
** those that are downloadable from the internet
* teaching and self-study kits that can be used in courses

== Coordinator ==

The project needs have one coordinator, who is the leader and responsible for whole project.

== Component projects ==

From each component: the general idea, the responsible partner, deliverables

-General idea: Introductory 2 or 3 credit course on remote sensing methods for natural resource conservation using open source software and other freeware. This course will build upon curriculum already developed by the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History (see http://geospatial.amnh.org/remote_sensing/training/workshop_material.html). The course will be co-developed and co-taught between staff at the American Museum of Natural History and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

 Software used: Requires some further investigation, but probably will utilize one or more of the following: GRASS, QGIS, Multispec, OpenEV, 3DEM and possibly others.
