As you probably already know I will be talking about FOSS4G in academia             
at a plenary in Barcelona. The talk is shorter (15min) than a regular
presentation but I am sure the slides will be available on-line.        
Therefore, I would like to make the material more representative 
of the broader FOSS4G academic community by including links to programs
that offer full semester courses with significant
FOSS4G component so that people interested in FOSS4G education can look them up.

If you would like to have your program or course included on the plenary
talk slide please email me a link and a title of the course/program.
We can post this information on the OSGEo Edu website too.
I have in mind courses that are offered as part of regular curricula
(as required or electives) or at least are offered on a regular basis.

In addition to NCSU, ASU and Milan I have so far found the folllowing
(based on OSGEo edu materials, recent conferences and personal contacts):
Penn State : Open Web Mapping MS GIS elective,(Ian Turton will be there and has a talk)
Toronto: 20 years GIS analysis courses with GRASS (Doc Robinson)
UCDavis Intro to GIS: QGIS, GRASS, R
University of Massachusetts, Amherst: Intro to spatial technology undergrad with QGIS (Charlie you are comming I guess)
Cleveland State university: Advanced GIS with PostGIS, QGIS, Openlayers
ASU GeoDa Spatial statistics for economic development

I am sure there is more.

thank you,

Helena
