Introduction
The Education/FOSSGIS Core Curriculum Project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation is currently in the "definition phase".
The project aims at establishing a Core Curriculum for teaching culture of the foundation, software and data usage in a systematic way. It is anticipated to deliver training and educational material for academia and business to promote the idea of using and disseminating open geospatial technologies.
Likely scenario
- Information gathering
- Develop list of potential participants
- Invite people/organizations to express interest
- Discuss potential charter (is there an "official" OSGeo name for this?)
- Present charter to OSGeo Board for approval (or do the members also get to vote on it?)
- Charter should probably have "Terms of Reference" - i.e. what the group will do
- Charter should probably have an initial list of participants/organizations (not all need to be members)
- Charter should name a Chair and a Vice Chair (or co-chairs?) (must proposed chair already be a member or can s/he become a member by virtue of being part of this?)
- Assuming project is approved - Get to work!
Potential Members
If you add people/orgs to this list, please indicate whether you're adding yourself/your organization or whether you are "nominating" the person/organization as a potential member.
