<p>Thanks for the introduction Nick. One thing that puzzles me is
that there appears to be a lot of people setting up QGIS training
courses and I would have thought it would be beneficial of these
separate initiatives were to become more consolidated.</p>
<p>I'd expect that consolidating workshops would be a very valuable
task, as it would focus the community together.</p>
<p>It would also be a suitably challenging task to bring multiple
threads together, and something that would be worthy of a senior
technical writer's expertise.</p>
<p>What are people's thoughts on the current state of available QGIS
training courses? Is there potential to consolidate? Or is
everyone tailoring to their unique user base? <br>
</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<div>I am Nick Bearman and I split my time between two roles
Teaching Fellow in Geospatial Analysis (University College
London) and GIS Trainer & Consultant (Geospatial
Training Solutions [my own consultancy]).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have contributed to QGIS documentation a couple of
times, I regularly write and deliver GIS training courses to
a variety of participants, and release some as Creative
Commons material. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm keen to learn how to contribute more effectively,
particularly to QGIS documentation, and I am also looking to
run a workshop on how to contribute to OS documentation at
upcoming FOSS4G UK event in Edinburgh, UK in Sept.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am familiar with Git/GitHub and Markdown. The RST
format of the QGIS Documentation site sometimes eludes me! I
look forward to working with you all. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks very much to Cameron for coordinating and starting
this project. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
