Colleagues: Please list here any plans you have to develop content over the next year.

• Title: Introduction to remote sensing using FOSS.

  • Estimated date of completion: Not sure... Summer 2008?
    

• Title: Training Notes on Spatial Data Sharing using FOSS 2008
  
  • Author(s): Venkatesh Raghavan, Shinji Masumoto, Sarawut Ninsawat, Daisuke Yoshida, Susumu Nonogaki, Add yourself
    
  • We are working on 2008 version of our training note listed in the URL: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Educational_Content_Inventory
  • We are interested in updating, improving and enhancing the Training Note and also the Mandriva 2007 or 2008 FOSS4G Toolkit CD that comes with the training note. If you are interested to join this effort please add you came and contact at venka at osgeo dot org
  • Estimated date of completion: Spring 2008?
    

• Title: Tutorials for using FOSS4G tools employed in 4th year student projects, Carleton University
  • Authors: Students in GEOM4008 "Advanced Topics in Geographic Information Systems"
  • The students in my class are starting to work on their term projects, in which they are required to demonstrate a prototype workflow using all FOSS4G tools, and they are additionally required to develop tutorial materials which illustrate the steps required in such a workflow. To the extent that these are generally applicable, they will be released for re-use under a suitable license (e.g. CC). Alternatively/additionally, I expect at least some of these to be applicable to the above-listed project.
  • Estimated data of completion: projects due December 2007, probably available online within a month after that
