Dear Members, I would like to announce the short training on Free and Open Source Geomatics tools for Land evaluation and Land use planning with emphasis on the Quantum-GIS and GRASS-software 18 to 29 August 2008 in Leuven, Belgium The short training is meant to help participants to: • Obtain an up-to-date overview of available FOSS4G-solutions and evaluate their potential; • Acquire hands-on experience with two WINDOWS-based packages of FOSS4G: Quantum-GIS and GRASS; • Identify strong and weak points of these FOSS4G-packages and ways to handle them; • Explore the possibilities to extend the Quantum-GIS-functionalities by means of plug-in programming using the Python language. The training programme comprises four modules and is conceived in a ‘Self and group exploration’ and ‘Train the Trainer’ spirit. • 12 scholarships are available via VLIR-UOS. These scholarships are dedicated to people from the south who have no links with VLIR-programmes nor with other development cooperation initiatives. • 8 places are reserved for people involved in active VLIR-projects. • The remaining seats are reserved for participants from the north with variety of fees according to the preferred module. Subscription is possible until 31-march-2008. The full announcement is available at (http://www.sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/VLIR_KOI_en.htm).
