[HOT] HOT OSM in education

Mon May 6 23:24:30 UTC 2013

HI all, this is "sort of" on topic.

One major item in the HOT Strategy is to encourage more research about HOT.
So, in keeping with the education theme:

   - What types of research should HOT encourage?
   - If you are a researcher, how can we help you attain your goals?
   - What would a HOT research ecosystem need?

Thanks so much in advance

Heather
