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
