For one thing: if you add a bunch of source code, you add a (small or 
big) piece to the whole object.

If we ask people to release the course material, you ask them to release 
(a lot of work), which is (hopefully) a full consistent/coherent set of 
data, syllabi, notes and maybe even presentations. This (to me) makes it 
just too easy to "just take and use" for leechers. You cannot do that 
with code, code you can only reuse parts of.

But that said, I'm very much in favour of a QGIS training-project! Where 
people work together (just like on code) to create a coherent set of 
training material.

As I proposed, I would be ok if applying organisations had to handover 
their material to psc/usergroup/training-team, but making it fully 
public is a bridge too far I think.

We could have a team though which could maybe reuse the material to work 
on the QGIS-training project? So do not make it fully public.

I agree that 'giving back to the project' is important, and having 
public training material is a good thing.
