Hello GIS friends,
As part of an international development project in Africa, I have been asked to
help establish a GIS lab in a local college to train students in the use of GIS
as a land use planning tool so that when the project ends, the locals will be
that much more self sufficient.
I am seeking advice on acquiring software and hardware at the lowest cost
possible. I understand that companies, such as ESRI, will donate software in
some cases, and that computer companies have been known to do the same. Although
free is often the best, deep discounts are also useful.
As I am new to this kind of endeavor, I do not really know where to start
asking so I have turned to you. If you have any idea on who to approach and the
best way to go about it, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks a million,
Rick
