[Ottawa_users] OSGeo workshops/etc.

[Andrew Ross]

Hi All,

In case it is helpful, so long as it's open source software, I am happy to
enable workshops/lunch & learn sessions. This means filming, encoding, with
hosting included. All for $0.

I can do live webcasts too with a decent internet connection such as
cable/DSL or similar.

There's a bunch of examples on http://fosslc.org. Here's a recent example
(for OpenMoko, but you'll get the idea - demos/code/slides... it's all
good):

I'm happy to do this. Please just plan it ahead of time with me so I can fit
it into my schedule. Thanks.

Andrew

   I'm interested to learn more.

   At work there are some "lunch and learn" sessions that are being hosted
by ESRI.  They use a combination of a remote desktop (MS Live Meeting, but
could just as easily be Citrix gotomeeting.com or similar) and a conference
call.

   I've asked the organizer if we could continue these sessions later to
include the OSGeo components as well.  What I don't know is the details of
how that might be done.  In the case of ESRI they may be free and come out
of their marketing budget -- so now sure how to do the same for OSGeo which
doesn't have such a budget to dip into.
