The OSGeo Education and Curriculum Project

This component of OSGeo is focused on building a repository of educational material related to geoscience in general, and open source geospatial software specifically. In events like the recent FOSS4Geo conference, it became apparent that there is broad interest to coordinate, collaborate and share educational materials. Moreover, its clear that content authors -- all over the world -- are ready and willing to share their content with others. The OSGeo educational effort is working to organize and coordinate these interests and efforts. Want to join us?
