It could actually turn out to encourage or provide work to others currently offering training. The goal could be to develop an OSGeo-specialised curriculum, have certified trainers provide certified training to paying customers - in exchange trainers show they are qualified and students can say they are no only "QGIS" or "Faunalia" trained.. but "OSGeo trained" - something that no one can really do right now anyway :) Does that help? Think of the bigger program and not so much on a particular course that might be taught currently._______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
