[FOSS4G-Oceania] [Aus-NZ-QGIS-group] FOSS4G Birds of Feather session: Sustaining a training documentation pipeline

[Jonah Sullivan]

I'm looking forward to this session. Thanks for organising it.

I helped set up a QGIS MOOC with content created by, and created for,
Pacific Islanders.

The project that got it going is winding down; it would be nice to see it
continue.
