Education BOF Notes
University curricula - step by step
Mention of OSGeo certification from speaker - levels indicating competency.
Venka: "postgres certified engineer" program. Is certification responsibility of educational people?
Speaker: tutorials and programs drive accreditation
another speaker: GISCI.org - certification institute - is about the principles much more than the "button pushing" certification about tools and specific projects
Ari: we don't want to limit osgeo educational activity only to osgeo incubating projects
Venka: geoinformatics publication in Thailand wants to make an osgeo/foss4g cc licensed issue of its journal (international journal of geoinformatics) - 4000USD support for 150 page publication
Ari states potential reservations about sponsoring a publication
