[OSGeo Africa] [Fwd: [SDI-Africa] Teaching Materials on OS GIS]

Sat Feb 12 15:58:21 EST 2011

Heya All.

This is awesome work from you all.

I do have to question whether we have a representative from the NEPAD
Open Source team in the Presidents office on board?
Does anyone know if this is still being developed or if it has stagnated?
We might take a gap and offer through training to get it on board
again if we dont have a rep?
