[Qgis-community-team] Creating Educational Resources For QGIS

[Colin D. MacLeod]

Hi List Members, 

I am hoping that someone might be able to answer a quick query for me, and apologies if this isn’t the right place to be asking it.

I have written and published a series of GIS workbooks for marine biologists based around ArcGIS. However, I regularly get requests for similar resources for free/open source GIS. 

Would there be any issues in publishing a GIS workboook based around QGIS? In particular, would the production of a commercial, for profit workbook be at odds with the open source ethos of QGIS? Any profit made would be used to fund the academic research I do on whales and dolphins. 

SImilarly, are there any isses with offering commercial training courses based around QGIS? Again, this is something often get request for, but so far all the training I provide is based around ArcGIS and I would like to be able to offer an open-source alternative. Again, this is something I do to support my academic research.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me on this as I wouldn’t want to progress with this project if it goes against the ethos of QGIS and the community that supports it.

All the best,

Colin
