> Having just returned from Colombia's national biennial Geomatics  
> conference in Bogota, I was asked to pass the word about a short- 
> notice training opportunity for a Spanish-speaking geospatial  
> person to conduct a week-long workshop sometime before July 15th.   
> As part of a European Union grant to develop the nation's  
> geospatial infrastructure (that runs out on the 15th, hence the  
> short notice), they've invited a number of international folks to  
> conduct workshops on a variety of topics including open source  
> software.  I've done classes on MapServer, PostGIS, and Open  
> Layers, and I'm certain that workshops on packages such as GRASS,  
> MapGuide, or GeoServer would be very well received.  There's an  
> enthusiasm for open-source software that, combined with an  
> impressive level of technical know-how, makes for a rewarding week.
>
> Besides airfare and hotel, compensation will also include a  
> substantial stipend.
>
> At 8700 feet, Bogota offers an excellent option to beat the summer  
> heat.  As for safety and security concerns, it's no different than  
> any comparably sized city.
>
> If interested, please drop me a note, if not, please pass the  
> notice on to anyone who would be intrigued by the opportunity.
