<div>Using my personal email here, so not speaking for boundless, but I think you will find we have an intern working on material for Geo4All :)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would also like to remind the Geo4All initiative to not only focus on use of our OSGeo software, but to relentless push students to take part in the projects. Each and every course should have contact details for the projects in question, a note to be
polite online (as their discussion will be visible to potential employers), and a reminder that without their involvement this software will not continue to exist.<br>
