Now that I have all that boring stuff out of the way…..

So the first class went pretty well and although small – I received great feedback from people. Plus it made me navigate my way back through the QGIS Certification process for my end (Certificates/Payment). So the two day will get a slight upgrade for the May class and I should have certificates in hand on the last day. Plus the exercises will be a lot easier vs what I’m doing now.

On the facility – Easy parking and easier lunch. Granted we will all need to jump in a car for lunch it’s only a few miles away.

Anyway – come learn some QGIS and hang out in Chattanooga for a few days.
