This presentation will review the experiences over the past six years of
instructing a FOSS4G course at the university level.  What has worked and
what needs to be improved will be discussed.  These experiences are based
on an introductory FOSS4G course that focuses on how students can
incorporate Open Source technologies into their program majors and
careers.  While the specific content for each semester changes there are
three core areas of FOSS4G technology that the students use: desktop GIS,
database management systems, and Cloud-based GIS.  The students gain
experience with these technologies through readings and hands-on
exercises.  This gives them the experience to use FOSS4G in a project of
their choice that is related to their major course of study.  An important
part of this course is the guest speakers.  Each semester, several
individuals give presentations on how they are using FOSS4G in their work.
This provides real-world examples of how FOSS4G can be applied to solve
business, environmental, and social problems.
