[OSGeo-Discuss] looking for introductory material on cartography

[G. Allegri]

Thnaks Ian. That's a really interesting material, but it's out of our
course scope. I need something about basic geodesy, coordinates
systems, etc.

thank you anyway.

ps: wouldn't it be useful to gather such introductory resources under
the Education and Curriculum pages of the OSGeo wiki [1]?
