Also because uDig was open source software, we were able to give each farmer a CD with the uDig setup on it so they could install the software on there PC’s back at their farm.  At the end of the day we also gave them a copy of their workspace on thumbdrives to be copied to their own PC’s, so they could continue working from where the left off.

The actual teaching was done by a qualified educator, who works for Red River Solutions, and I guess you could say I was the teachers assistant.  With myself having been learning the ins and outs of uDig for the past 6 months, I had some helpful input when some of uDig’s little quirks arose throughout the days.

With this trial over I believe Red River Solutions is well positioned for training businesses and individuals around the Central West NSW and beyond in what I believe to be the best FREE solution available for mapping.
