Subject: [OSGeo-Edu] Short-notice training opportunity in Bogota
All:
Having just returned from Colombia's national biennial Geomatics
conference in Bogota, I was asked to pass the word about a short-
notice training opportunity for a Spanish-speaking geospatial
person to conduct a week-long workshop sometime before July 15th.
As part of a European Union grant to develop the nation's
geospatial infrastructure (that runs out on the 15th, hence the
short notice), they've invited a number of international folks to
conduct workshops on a variety of topics including open source
software. I've done classes on MapServer, PostGIS, and Open
Layers, and I'm certain that workshops on packages such as GRASS,
MapGuide, or GeoServer would be very well received. There's an
enthusiasm for open-source software that, combined with an
impressive level of technical know-how, makes for a rewarding week.
Besides airfare and hotel, compensation will also include a
substantial stipend.
At 8700 feet, Bogota offers an excellent option to beat the summer
heat. As for safety and security concerns, it's no different than
any comparably sized city.
If interested, please drop me a note, if not, please pass the
notice on to anyone who would be intrigued by the opportunity.
Thanks,
Brian Timoney
