Introduction

The 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.
