Hi all,<br /><br />I'll be able to help on the OSGeo stand. I'm also willing to help with a FOSSGIS workshop - a QGIS course or demo of QGIS capabilities or something like that.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Frank.<br /><br />

Hi all<br /><br />I'll be there and will help man an OSGeo stand. If we can't find one <br />benefactor (or negotiate some free space?) then I like the idea of <br />pooling resources.<br /><br />OSGeo does have a budget to help out with exhibition materials, so we <br />must apply to access that.<br /><br />The deadline for papers has been extended to 31 Jan: I encourage you to <br />submit a paper highlighting any aspect of FOSS GIS, where FOSS GIS has <br />been used, case studies, etc., so that advocacy extends to the sessions.<br /><br />I'd also love to see FOSS GIS workshops happening, either concurrently <br />or on either side of the conference. I'm sure there'd be enough of us <br />with interesting workshops to present. Anyone willing to run with that?<br /><br />Some other cool ideas could be to tack on a local SOTM (State of the Map <br />- Openstreetmap) event one one side of the conference and a FOSS GIS <br />Developer hackfest / code sprint on the other side. To make these happen <br />requires volunteers - anyone up to running with these?<br /><br />-- <br />regards<br /><br />Gavin<br /><br />Gavin Fleming<br />http://afrispatial.co.za<br />t: 0218630660<br />c: 0845965680<br />f: 0866164820<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />Africa mailing list<br />Africa@lists.osgeo.org<br />http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa
