I am not associated with this poll, just passing it along. By the look of
their courses offered it seems they could use a little more osgeo presence.

Thnaks Ian. That's a really interesting material, but it's out of our
course scope. I need something about basic geodesy, coordinates
systems, etc.
thank you anyway.

ps: wouldn't it be useful to gather such introductory resources under
the Education and Curriculum pages of the OSGeo wiki

mostly interested in cartography basics, but a look at the rest would

or ask people to use such.

I'm going to teach a course (mostly as volunteer time) on GIS basics
and GPS surveying for an ONG in Africa. The first two days they will

material on cartography (ear
