[Ica-osgeo-labs] FW: Free and Open Source GIS course – Aug 4–8 @ Hunter College, NYC

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Suchith,
Will this course make use of OSGeo-Live? If so I'd be keen to add the 
details to our history page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History

Keeping track of how OSGeo-Live is used provides the motivation and 
business justifications people and organisations use to justify 
contributing to OSGeo-Live.

I'd also like to hear from any others making use of OSGeo-Live such that 
we can add your use to this page.
