<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
<br>
I think it would be great if there was some repository of local (South
Africa / Cape Town based ) GIS data available for workshop presenters
to integrate, as applicable.<br>
<br>
In the workshop I am assisting with it would be great to provide local
data to integrate with. For example, if we could have some census,
zoning, street, or even the general municipality boundaries to work
with, it would mean our demo app could be aimed at the local region,
which I think would be nice. <br><br>
I was going to contact the GIS folks listed on the <a href="http://capetown.gov.za/" target="_blank">capetown.gov.za</a>
site, but figured I would check in here first to see if any of you
locals or others have already hit them up (what was their response?) or
otherwise have located a public download site for this type of data.<br>
<br>
Obviously this is not an urgent matter for any workshops -- we can
easily focus on an area where there's lots of freely available data.
But as long as we're a bunch of GIS folks in Cape Town, I figure we
may as well see about getting our hands on the local stuff.<br>
<br>
