[TCMUG] MN GIS/LIS Conference

[Paul Wickman]

Hello,

I am doing a 1/2 day "Intro to QGIS" for the Spring Workshops in a few 
weeks.  If that goes over well that I'd like to do it again in fall, 
with a bit more advance topics.  It would be neat to have an exercise on 
exporting to MapServer, with the idea that folks can then learn how to 
"make it go" by attending the GeoMoose workshop.  I could also touch on 
PostGIS which might relate to another such workshop.

Thanks,

Paul Wickman
