I'm thinking of running a two-day short course on open-source geospatial software here at Lancaster mainly directed at earth scientists. There's three main strands: GIS, Programming, and The Web, all tied together with info about open protocols and file formats and APIs and all that.<br>
<br>Now I could probably teach the whole lot but after two days I'd be dead. So is there anyone who might be interested in teaching a session about QGIS and then co-supervising a practical session? About an hour for each, maybe 20-30 people if we're lucky. I don't know when since I only thought this up last week.<br>
<br>While I'm here if anyone would be interested in teaching the Web-based bit I'd like to hear from you too. I'm thinking OpenLayers, a bit of Javascript and CSS, some map service data (WFS, WMS), a bit about MapServer or MapGuide, then another practical session so users can stick their data on the web.<br>
<br>Lecturers would get expenses and a fee, plus a couple of days in Lancaster where it's always sunny and bright. I don't think we could afford to get anyone in from outside the UK though unless you waived your travel expenses.<br>
<br>Anyway, get back to me off-list if you are interested.<br><br>thanks,<br><br>Barry<br><br><br>
