[Geo4All] Fwd: Re: [Aus-NZ-QGIS-group] FOSS4G Birds of Feather session: Sustaining a training documentation pipeline

Sun Nov 18 00:43:06 PST 2018

Hi Cameron, GeoforAll

Happy to contribute here as well - and I’ll come say hi at the BoF
Although. In Dar Es Salaam Maria and Victoria (if I recall correctly)
discussed a global network of training materials - is there an update on
that concept/idea?

Thanks,
Adam
