Hi Gildas,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your mail and interest. Your idea to organise FOSS4G Africa and to create a network of capacity-building and knowledge and experience-sharing in Africa is excellent. I am CC'ing our wider community so that we will be able to bring in more ideas to support you.<br>
<span><br>
btw i could not get the link of your centre RECTAS <a rel="noreferrer" href="http://www.rectas.org" target="_blank">www.rectas.org</a> (maybe the site is currently down) that you emailed but i did find another link with info at<br>

<br>
Thanks again for your initiative.<br>

Subject: [GeoForAll-Africa] FOSS4G Africa<br>
<br>
Dear all,<br>
<br>
I've a user or OSGEO products for almost ten years now. And while i notice a growing interest all over the world for these products and the creation of FOSS4G chapters in different countries, in Africa there nothing like that.<br>
<br>
My idea is to organise a FOSS4G conference for OSGEO products users in order to create a network of capacity-building and knowledge and experience-sharing in all the possible fields.<br>
<br>
</span>I've been thinking about this for a while now and i think a centre like RECTAS (<a rel="noreferrer" href="http://www.rectas.org" target="_blank">www.rectas.org</a><<a rel="noreferrer" href="http://www.rectas.org" target="_blank">http://www.rectas.org</a>>), where I've worked for the past two years can host such event thanks to their experience in the GIS field and also their hosting capacity.<br>
<span><br>
Well that is an aspect on which everybody can discuss.<br>
<br>
But i believe it is high time for a FOSS4G chapter in Africa.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your opinion on this idea<br>
<br>
