[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

sorry for cross posting, but I had a short email conversation with Dr
Branch  who is asking for info/help/grants/whatever to come to a QGIS
course for librarians, eg georeferencing etc (see below thread).

Forwarding to hear, to see if somebody is able to help, coorporate or so..

Anybody: pointers, info, help, grants?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hi,

I'm not so much in grant/funding work :-)

But happy to forward this thread to the QGIS PSC mailing list for you?
See if others know of such ways?
Maybe some US or EU european universities want to partner up?
Or some adventurous youngster QGIS-geek :-) ?

Let me know if you should forward this to the mailing list (or better:
subscribe to either the PSC or community list [0], and ask yourself?

Regards,

Richard
