Hello Charlie, In India We are conducting free road shows collaborating with universities to create awareness on OSGeo products. We have conducted one such Seminar "Opensource GIS Tools and Solutions - An Awareness seminar" jointly by NRCFOSS,kCube and Institue of Remote Sensing, Anna University. For those who are interested for detailed training programs we conduct commercial programs.
We are interested to contribute to free Webinars and Promote OSGeo.

OSGeo colleagues, I was recently contacted by Ann Deakin, a Geosciences faculty at the State University of New York - Fredonia campus. She is also on the board of directors of the NYS GIS Association and the chair of their education committee. She was asking me about the possibility of offering a webinar to their members (and anyone considering getting into GIS) on open source GIS. This sounded like a really good idea to me, as a possible new (?) way of promoting OSGeo technologies. I'm wondering if anyone has already done this kind of thing? Would any of our "knowledge experts" out there be willing to do such a webinar? (If so, let me know in what area) If we can get something like this designed, we could either do it first working with Ann and the NYS GIS Association, or perhaps try and scale the webinar up to a larger and more international crowd. Reactions welcome! Charlie Schweik OSGeo education chair _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
