[SeasonOfDocs] Hello

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks for the introduction Nick. One thing that puzzles me is that 
there appears to be a lot of people setting up QGIS training courses and 
I would have thought it would be beneficial of these separate 
initiatives were to become more consolidated.

I'd expect that consolidating workshops would be a very valuable task, 
as it would focus the community together.

It would also be a suitably challenging task to bring multiple threads 
together, and something that would be worthy of a senior technical 
writer's expertise.

What are people's thoughts on the current state of available QGIS 
training courses? Is there potential to consolidate? Or is everyone 
tailoring to their unique user base?

Warm regards, Cameron
