I do take a slight exception to this being called "GIS Essentials"
when it's really an ESRI customer casting of the net. I don't buy
into ESRI/GIS equivalence any more than I buy into Cisco/networking
equivalence.<br>

And a single notice for an occasional event. And it needs to be at
least somehow related to Linux (runs on linux works but competes
with Linux does not - i.e. Microsoft training announcements). If
RedHat wants to announce a training session for RHCE certificate
or LPI wants to announce a testing session, sure, it's related.<br>
<br>
But then I don't CENSOR the list except to turn off someones
microphone when they are being abusive. I have no interest (or
time) to moderate everything that goes on here. I only send
nasty-grams when people cross the invisible, unmarked line that
nobody can see but me (and my imaginary friends).<br>
<br>
Personally, I wish the training were far less than a kilobuck
cause I'm interested in GIS stuff but more from the "how do I do
that ArcGIS thing in GISS-GRASS". So knowing the commercial
process helps my FLOSS understanding.<br>

offers a service for a fee and is therefore spam.
If they want to offer free
