These are Jo's notes which loosely correspond to FOSS4G2006 minutes 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 http://www.j-geoinfo.net/
Ari states potential reservations about sponsoring a publication
Speaker suggests that osgeo should be operating a "clearing house" for tutorial material
cf Educational Resources - this would benefit from more structure / a kind of peer review backend
