Anyone can be added to the e-mail distribution list for the first go-round.
After each software is completed, the course material will be added to a
website here at COAPS-FSU. Anybody can copy or apply it.

Attached is a .pdf of the initial course e-mail. If you want to added to the
distribution list, let me know

Hi Gary,
I'm very interested in education for FOSS  in GIS.  Where can I learn more 
about your course and are there areas where the course could be mirrored and

applied elsewhere?
