[Aust-NZ] Geoserver skills and training? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Cameron Shorter]

Anti,
It is timely that you ask this question, as LISAsoft is right now in the 
process of defining training for GeoServer and a few other popular 
Geospatial Open Source applications.

I'm interested to hear thoughts from you and others on what you would 
like to see covered in such a training session, and get an idea for the 
profile of staff members you would wish to send to such training courses 
so that we can target our training appropriately.
