If this competes with the activities the professionals and enterprises are
currently
offering, -1. We want OSGeo to support our work, not to compete with it. This
would
have a number of negative consequences, IMHO.
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.
Shouldn't this be done in parallel?
OSGeo activities in the area of GIS "in general" and in the same time
OSGeo projects covering software application topics with general issues
as background.
Project activities as driving forces and OSGeo (training, certification
or whatever) more like common consensus forum in the wide area of
FOSS4G. In my opinion this consesnus at OSGeo level will be hard to
reach, as there is big diversity of goals and approaches even within one
project. Not impossible, but it will take time.
