Education "Birds of a Feather" meeting
Posted by Jeremy Morley on January 30, 2013
Suchith and I have been talking. We'd like to arrange an Education "Birds of a Feather" session at FOSS4G. We're thinking that ~5pm on the Friday (20th Sept.) would be a good time (most people there, possibility of dial-in from the US). Does anyone foresee any problems with this?
Education could be broadly defined, to include school, FE/college, as well as university/Higher Education.

I've emailed the Discuss list to promote the 'Local Chapters Birds of a Feather' and also created a wiki page based on the sessions held at the 2009 conference:

The page needs updating with the timetable slots for the sessions and we can also add in the 'Education BOF meeting' that Jeremy suggested above.

It would be good if someone else stepped up and took responsibility for the BoFs.

There's a paragraph (currently commented out) inviting people to self organise and we just need details of the time slots adding that we discussed at the face-to-face meeting.

I'm thinking that using the wiki page as the primary place for people to add their sessions would be good- then hopefully we can have a screen with the sessions on and their locations.
