<p>Hi Vincent,</p>
<p>Wow - 20 to 50 companies offering QGIS courses in France. How comes - these companies do not contribute more to QGIS?</p>
<p>I was initially thinking that we should allow course announcements to the users list, but I now, if I hear how many companies are offering these courses, I agree that it would be too much. Maybe the mailing lists of the local user groups are the better vehicle in this case. In the Swiss QGIS user group we have a calendar of events and announce courses on the Swiss QGIS users mailing list.</p>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Hello,<br /><br /> I would be against sending announcement of training courses to the list.<br /> There is currently something like 20 to 50 companies just in France<br /> giving QGIS training courses. I think it would very soon look like a<br /> spam festival, and bore users more than give them valuable information.<br /><br /> Or maybe have a qgis-promotion list, where one could post announces for<br /> new products, training courses or job offers related to QGIS.<br /><br /> The trafic on -user and -dev is already high, please keep it as readable<br /> as possible.<br /><br /> Vincent<br /><br /> On 30/05/2016 19:17, Anita Graser wrote:

our policies in a central place I think so that we can point people to<br /> it. What are your thoughts RE training? I think it's ok to send it to<br /> the user list, probably a bit noisy for the dev list.<br /><br /> +1 I think it's ok to use the user list to announce training courses.<br /><br /> Should we put these policies in the<br /> FAQ <a href="http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/faq/index.html">http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/faq/index.html</a> or under<br /> organization <a href="http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/index.html?">http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/index.html?</a><br /><br /> Best wishes,<br /> Anita<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> _______________________________________________<br /> Qgis-psc mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org">Qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org</a><br /><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-psc">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-psc</a><br /><br /></blockquote>
