[Qgis-psc] Announcing courses

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Vincent, 

Wow - 20 to 50 companies offering QGIS courses in France. How comes -
these companies do not contribute more to QGIS? 

I was initially thinking that we should allow course announcements to
the users list, but I now, if I hear how many companies are offering
these courses, I agree that it would be too much. Maybe the mailing
lists of the local user groups are the better vehicle in this case. In
the Swiss QGIS user group we have a calendar of events and announce
courses on the Swiss QGIS users mailing list.
