[Wilczewski, Annika]

Hi Kirsten,
Will this 'presentation' be available for download? I hope so.
If there is still space available please sign me up. Unfortunately, I'll have to leave part way through but if you don't mind, I'd love to sit in. This is an area I am eager to learn more about.

I am an educator, so I want to learn more and promote Open GIS!

Thanks!
Annika
