Johan, great to hear of your interest and ability to bring material to the project. A challenge of funded open source (and open training) is sustainability after the funding drys up. I'm hoping we can help address sustainability by spreading maintenance across
multiple community members and funding sources.<br>
<br>
Brad, you are asking some really good questions which I'm hoping we can collectively discuss. I personally don't have an agenda for format or delivery mechanisms. I think we should be thinking about big vision, determine who wants to contribute and what their
priorities are, and then focus on what we can sustainable build to address immediate needs and material we can already make use of, and also do our best to attract an active, international community of maintainers. Feel free to share your suggestions.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Cameron<br>

Are you anticipating this being a training course or a set of training material (e.g. some overview presentations and tutorials) that could be used in a course? What kind of delivery mechanisms do you anticipate (e.g. face-to-face, self-paced, etc)? Who do
you anticipate the training audience to be? What would the training outcome(s) / competencies be? Would this include assessment?<br>

Subject: [Aus-NZ-QGIS-group] FOSS4G Birds of Feather session: Sustaining a training documentation pipeline<br>
<br>
Hi QGIS and FOSS4G folks,<br>
<br>
I think a number of things are serendipitously coming together to create the perfect opportunity to establish collaborative building and maintaining OSGeo training material in general, and QGIS in particular.<br>
(Templates, processes, tool chains developed for QGIS could be rolled out to other projects in future releases).<br>
<br>
I was talking with Andrew Jeffrey and Chris Milne yesterday about setting up a Birds of a Feather session at the FOSS4G conference in Melbourne next week to discuss this. Andrew and Chris mentined that their employer, Chartis Technology is keen to collaboratively
build QGIS training.<br>
<br>
Sarah Maddox, tech writer from Google, is launching a "Google Season of Docs" [1], from which we might be able to tap into experienced tech writer resources.<br>
<br>
I'm hoping that once we get momentum going, we could draw in universities from Geo4All. Some universities already have good training material we can start from.<br>
<br>
I'm interested from an OSGeoLive perspective - drawing from our existing community and extending our established documentation pipeline to also include training material.<br>
<br>
If you are interested to be involved, then speak up (and/or look for details of the BoF session once we find a venue and timeslot).<br>
<br>
