Please add your name below in either of the two suggested OSGeo edu working sessions if you are interested in participating at FOSS4G in Denver.
ROOM: Denver room
BOF sessions are scheduled for Wed Sept 14th from 5:30-8:00 pm. We should definitely have a meeting then. 1.5 hours should be enough, though the rooms are available longer. Note this overlaps the poster session and exhibitor reception (snacks/drinks!) - so you don't want to use the whole time for the BOF.
There is also space available for a further meeting on Saturday Sept 17th if people are around and willing to use some of that day to work on content-related activities (TBD). One idea would be to try and have a "Workbook development sprint"?
