Emne: Re: [Qgis-user] Which topics would you choose for a QGIS workshop

Very much depends on the audience -

My take on this for workshops I've run over the last few years is to take a 
more conceptual look at GIS, like:

  *   spatial data idiosyncracies (raster/vector/projections/spheroids/...)
  *   finding/capturing data (download/WMS/WFS/GPS/etc)
  *   managing the data for use (managed data is the foundation of a GIS - 
Postgis)
  *   QGIS for visualizing (mapping/overlaying/querying/navigating)
  *   QGIS for editing (digitzing/on screen creation)
  *   QGIS for core GIS (CRS management/simple spatial analysis)
  *   QGIS for cartography (composer)
  *   Advanced QGIS - plugins, more serious analysis, interfacing with 
R/Saga/etc
more about how to do GIS using QGIS than how to use QGIS. I find this works 
better for people who are both new to GIS & those coming from other GIS tools.

Works for me :-) I also tend to include Postgres/Postgis, Mapserver & some GMT 
training depending on what people want...

Subject: [Qgis-user] Which topics would you choose for a QGIS workshop

Hi,
In September I´m going to have a full day QGIS workshop at FOSS4G in Portland.
Right now I´m in a middle of a selection of topics/tutorials to be presented - 
and a have a small problem: Which to choose....
It is possible to either show how a function works and/or have tutorials for 
participants to work with on a individual basis.

So my question to the list: Which topics do you find most important and/or 
interesting to show and learn other users.
Regards
