[OSGeo-Edu] [Fwd: osgeo training]

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Hi Radhakrishnan,

Nice to know about FOSS4G related training activities at
IIIT&M Trivandrum. Particularly so since I began my
research career a long time ago in Trivandrum. Let us know
how we could be of help to promote OSGeo/FOSS4G in
FOSS-Friendly Kerala.

I will be in south India (not in Tvm this time) in
Aug 2009. Perhaps we could catch-up some place while
I am in India.

Best regards

Venka
