Hi fellow FOSS GISers<br>
<br>
I'm conducting a snap survey of FOSS GIS in SA - please respond by
Mon 3 Sept! I will use later responses but they won't be guaranteed
to make it into the proceedings (deadline 5 Sept).<br>
<br>
I'll be presenting a paper at the GISSA Ukubuzana in October with
the following abstract:<br>
<blockquote>Free and Open Source GIS Software is being used widely
across South Africa in diverse applications. This presentation
will showcase a number of projects implemented with FOSS GIS in
government, private industry, civil society and other sectors.
Case studies will be drawn from various companies, consultants and
service providers.<br>
</blockquote>

--> </style>I'd like to showcase what's being done and if I get a big
enough response, to compile some stats. <br>
<br>
So, please send me some brief information about FOSS GIS work that
you are or have been involved with or that you feel we should know
about. <br>
<br>
I'm looking for work done with FOSS GIS in southern Africa by anyone
OR work done by South Africans anywhere in the world. <br>
<br>
Any project counts, from a helpful script to a backend database to a
big web application to a desktop GIS rollout - anything goes. <br>
<br>
Please send roughly the following:<br>
<br>
- a brief description<br>
- if web-based and public, a url<br>
- otherwise, send screenshots, publications, etc. <br>
- reasons why you or the client chose to use FOSS GIS<br>
- which FOSS GIS technologies you used<br>
<br>
PS: Apologies for the short notice but I was only notified of paper
acceptance yesterday.<br>
