[et-cg] Education and Training Policy Document: Feedback requested

[Kathryn Cassidy]

Dear Educators and Trainers,

A new version of the Education and Training Policy document has been
uploaded to the wiki and is available at the following url.

https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.et-
cg/wiki/NationalAndInternationalGridEducationTrainingPolicy

We will present this document at the ET-CG "National and International
Grid Education & Training Policy : draft document review" session at
OGF22 (scheduled for 11:15 am - 12:45 pm on Wednesday, February 27).  We
hope to get agreement on moving forward to publish this as an OGF
Information Document.

Comments and feedback before OGF22 are vital in order to ensure that the
document that we present at this session reflects the views of the group
as a whole, and that it is close to the final version.  We hope to use
this session to iron out remaining issues so that we can emerge with a
version of the document which we can publish.

In particular we would like feeback on the following sections, but any
comments or suggestions which you may have are welcome:

1)  We would particularly appreciate feedback on the e-Science  
textbooks section (Section 3.1), to find out what experiences members  
of the group have had with textbooks, whether they have contributed to  
any and whether they would cite a particular textbook as being an  
excellent resource (and why--how was the information presented).

2)  Under Section 4, we need to compile more information on an  
international scale to get a better idea of existing structures  
(beyond the EU), so we invite feedback here.

3)  In Section 5.1, strategies, we highlight the need to develop  
relationships to further e-Infrastructure education, but we would  
appreciate input on this considering the OGF international context.

4)  Since we will not be able to discuss the entire document at OGF22,  
which areas would group members like to focus on, which areas appear  
weakest and in need of contributions, or which areas are more  
contentious than others and so need our focus?

Thanks,
Kathryn.
