[FOSS4G-Oceania] Call for workshops winding up

[adam steer]

Interesting point. At F4G boston I went to an Azavea workshop which used
open source (free as in pay nothing) tooling; but called to Azavea’s image
analysis API (raster foundry?). It worked great, and the tools were useful
even without using the paid-for data parts. We had temporary licenses for
the day.

I also went to a GBDX workshop (sponsored content) - which again provided
some insight which is useful beyond paying for GBDX.

There’s a mix there, I think the key is that if you propose a workshop
using a tool people need to pay for, provide them a license for the day;
and give skills which are also useful if you take the tool away.

(and one last hustle - anyone wanna co-propose an open storymap workshop?)
