2) Investigate, vote on, and recommend a content management system for educational modules. Deadline: October 31, 2007 Subcommittee members: Ben Alden; Victor Olaya; Charlie Schweik; Scott Mitchell; Venka; Maria Brovelli; Rob Braswell

3) Implement recommended system in task 2 and develop instructions for new authors Deadline: December 1, 2007 Subcommittee members: To be determined

4) Post regular reminders to OSGeo lists to (A) encourage educational-related submissions to OSGeo journal; and (B) submit new educational material (or links) through the content management system established in task 3. Deadline: Ongoing Subcommittee: Schweik, Kishor
