Hi All,

Originally I put this out to the HOT list, but I figured I'm missing
some people that way.

As you may know there is a team of 8 OpenStreetMap trainers in
Indonesia right now. This team leads workshops and provides technical
support around OpenStreetMap use for disaster risk reduction around
the country. The secondary component is continued training to become
an increasingly experienced team of OpenStreetMap contributors.

So far much of this training is coming from just a few of us (myself
and Joseph Reeves). To
expose everyone to different tech skills, different teaching styles,
and to mix things up we'd like to have a another person join us for 3
weeks in November. There are a variety of skills we are interested in
and suggestions are also welcome.

So far ideas are:

General programming in Python, especially with QGIS
SQL Queries/PostGIS
Setting up WMS Servers
TileMill
Web Server Configuration
Sharing maps on WordPress/Drupal/other web tools
Advanced QGIS Topics
Processing of Imagery with open source tools
Git

For more information look here on HOT's website:

and if you have questions ideas feel free to contact me.

Best,

-Kate
