We now have universities in China, India and other countries now wishing to replicate this model which is the best proof of its real impact.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'>Suchith<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> <a href="mailto:live-demo-bounces@lists.osgeo.org">live-demo-bounces@lists.osgeo.org</a> [<a href="mailto:live-demo-bounces@lists.osgeo.org">mailto:live-demo-bounces@lists.osgeo.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Cameron Shorter<br><b>Sent:</b> 29 July 2014 09:30<br><b>To:</b> Lluís Vicens; <a href="mailto:ica-osgeo-labs@lists.osgeo.org">ica-osgeo-labs@lists.osgeo.org</a>; <a href="mailto:live-demo@lists.osgeo.org">live-demo@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Live-demo] [Ica-osgeo-labs] OSGeo-Live in a training setting<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks Lluis, your description is very comprehensive, and a valuable, unbiased summary of OSGeo-Live's strengths and weaknesses in a teaching environment.<br><br>I expect this summary will be something that others will want to reference in future, and as such, I would like to copy it into a public location.<br>I'm thinking that we should either set up a testimony wiki page, or include testimonies in our existing history page.
