<h2> OGC/OSGeo meet up </h2>
 +
<p>OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?
 +
</p><p>This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.
 +
</p>
 +
<ul><li>  When - Friday 20th September, 08:00 - 09:00 in the GeoCamp Marquee.

ELOGeo - learning materials for FOSS-GIS

Time Slot and location: Friday, 1-1:30pm, GeoCamp (marquee)

The ELOGeo platform has been set up as a means for the community to share learning resources for FOSS GIS under a Creative Commons 3 licence. We at the University of Nottingham have some additional funding to work on functionality and design of the system, and we're interested in some community views on this. Please come along to say what you think! (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content & access.

Topics:

  • how useful is the current collection of materials?
  • organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?
  • design: how could this be improved?

Who is coming:

  • <a href="User:Jmorley"> Jeremy Morley</a> (Nottingham Geospatial Institute)
  • Adam Rousell (Nottingham Geospatial Institute)
