into campuses is very challenging given that some companies have provided their
products almost for free as part of their business model. I was teaching GIS
programming in Algonquin one time and tried to introduce students the Mapserver
and WPS solution. Some of the students were very happy to learn about those.
However the organization was quite negative towards Open Source idea. Anyway,
good luck on this! </span></font></p>

I am interested in it, definitely. I would also be interested in tying it in
with my GIS program here. That's something I will have to discuss with some of
my teachers though. I may not be able to put a lot of work into this, simply
because of my school work, but I will be able to put in some.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
