Hi Gavin<br>
<br>
Sorry for late reply. I haven't check emails for a while.<br>
<br>
Im an Oracle Spatial Developer for Gijima working on the <a href="http://eepublishers.co.za/article/mmuso-riba-107-02-vulindlela-project.html">Vulindlela project </a><br>
We
are essentially developing software to automate the administration of
the South African Cadastre by integrating Deeds and Chief Surveyor
General business processses.<br>
The spatial module will contain several
open source products such as GDAL for importing and exporting spatial
layers into various formats and Openlayers & GeoExt to support
client-side mapping functions.<br>
<br>
What we are definitely following is OGC standards (for whats its worth).<span style="color:#1f497d"></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Regards,</span></p>

Thanks for your responses so far. This is a reminder to send your
response today describing any FOSS GIS work you've done or know
about (details below). You are welcome to send it to the list as
some of you have but you can also send it to me off-list at
<a href="mailto:gavin@afrispatial.co.za" target="_blank">gavin@afrispatial.co.za</a>.<br>

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>
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 [last Thurs now].<span><font color="#888888"><br>
