[Charlie Schweik]

Dear Radhakrishnan,

Thank you for your email. Great things you are doing! I'm forwarding it 
on to the OSGeo education group list so others can see what you are doing.

| Dear Mr.Charlie Schweik
| Let me introduce myself. I am Radhakrishnan, Chief Technical Officer 
at Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management - Kerala 
(IIITM-K, www.iiitmk.ac.in <http://www.iiitmk.ac.in/>). IIITMK is 
located in Trivandrum, Kerala State of India. We have done so many 
initiatives such as
| projects, workshops and training using FOSSGIS. Now we are completely 
switched over to FOSS GIS and we are using almost all the tools of 
OSGEO. Also please visit http://www.akmindia.in/agrogis/dhwd1/index.php
| developed using Mapguide Open.

| We are planning to offer a Certificate Course in FOSS GIS. From our 
experience, in our State Kerala, we will get overwhelming response to 
such courses as ours is FOSS friendly State. Please let us know how 
OSGEO can support our efforts in popularizing FOSS GIS.

My suggestions are the following:

1) Consider going to http://www.osgeo.org/education and do what it 
suggests there -- add your name to our mailing list, and consider adding 
your educational material to our educational inventory database [1, 2]. 
We hope you will join us!
2) We are trying to develop a system where others can build and enhance 
work that others have developed. So you may find some of the materials 
listed on our inventory useful for your efforts, or it might be 
something you have
developed might be of use to someone else.

Sincerely

Charlie Schweik
for the OSGeo education group
