<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hi Cameron, we aren't using it (right now), but it *has* been discussed. Students will have access to their own virtual machine during the course, so using the OSGeo-Live image is an option. Part of the course involves installing some of the required apps, so we weren't sure if we wanted to go with the pre-installed stuff on OSGeo-Live... having said that, I guess we could work with a modified version. Any thoughts on this? Additionally, we will be *telling* students about OSGeo-Live, and they will leave with that as a resource.</div>

Hi Suchith,<br>
Will this course make use of OSGeo-Live? If so I'd be keen to add
the details to our history page:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History</a><br>
<br>
Keeping track of how OSGeo-Live is used provides the motivation and
business justifications people and organisations use to justify
contributing to OSGeo-Live.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to hear from any others making use of OSGeo-Live such
that we can add your use to this page.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<p>Dear all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>we will be offering a five day professional training course
on FOSS GIS at Hunter college, NYC, the first week of
August: <a href="http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/ce/gis" target="_blank">http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/ce/gis</a> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Feel free to forward the course description below to

<p><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">FREE AND OPEN SOURCE GIS</span></b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p><b>August 4 to August 8, 2014, 9 AM to 5 PM</b><u></u><u></u></p>
<p>The Department of Geography at Hunter College of the City
University of New York and Hunter Continuing Education are
offering a five day professional course in <b>Free and Open Source GIS</b>.
This five day course will span the entire range of GIS data
capture, management, analysis, and visualization of
geographic information using Free and Open Source Software
(FOSS). These different elements of the GIS workflow will be
discussed over the first four days and will then be applied
in a final project completed on Friday. The course will
combine lectures with hands-on sessions where participants
will work with different free and open source GIS packages.
Since we expect participants from many different
organizations in the tri-state area, this training course
also presents an excellent networking opportunity.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>The course is designed for experienced GIS users who want
to broaden their skill set with expertise in the
ever-growing world of free and open source GIS. Participants
are expected to have a technical background and an interest
in developing comprehensive workflows using multiple
software components. While we do not require any programming
experience, we will be working on the command line and
developing some small scripts. Participants should be eager
to master these valuable skills.<u></u><u></u></p>
