[ale] New July GIS Essentials Class - 2010 Census Data Added-SPAM

[Jim Kinney]

Yes. As long as it's more in the tone of a notice and not a barrage of "GIVE
US YOUR MONEY" announcements.

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.

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).

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.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
