<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">I note the wiki page says the National link has 'lots of free gis data' <BR>but I couldn't find any while tooling around in there (could have been <BR>missing something obvious). <BR><BR>More to the point, it sounds like (thanks Dup!) we now have a great <BR>hookup for any data we need. I will modify the wiki page as soon as I <BR>can figure out my password for data I think would be good to request, <BR>but I am not really familiar with what kinds of data is available, or <BR>what might be more pertinent/interesting locally (wine regions?). So it <BR>would be good to hear from those who do know more of the local area <BR>before we formally request it from Sue Kirschner.<BR><BR>Finally - is someone local willing to volunteer to accept delivery of <BR>the data in DVD, and upload it somewhere? If we can't get a password <BR>protected osgeo-hosted repository quickly, then I am happy to host on an <BR>S3 instance if someone will upload the data to a server (which I can <BR>also provide for this purpose).<BR><BR> -Josh<BR><BR>Gavin Fleming wrote:<BR>><BR>> Josh beat me to it and Dup has already responded, but this should <BR>> still be useful:<BR>><BR>> Josh Livni wrote:<BR>><BR>> >Is there an irc channel you guys (who are working on the LOC) are <BR>> hanging out to deal with discussion re FOSS4G?<BR>><BR>> Yes, though not heavily used as many employers block irc: <BR>> irc://freenode.net/foss4g2008<BR>><BR>> >Is there a publicly available site where we can download South <BR>> African / Cape Town based geodata?<BR>><BR>> Please check out and edit this page: <BR>> <A href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/South_African_Geodata">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/South_African_Geodata</A><BR>><BR>> Gavin<BR>><BR>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>><BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> FOSS4G2008LOC mailing list<BR>> FOSS4G2008LOC@lists.osgeo.org<BR>> <A href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2008loc">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2008loc</A><BR>> <BR>_______________________________________________<BR>FOSS4G2008LOC mailing list<BR>FOSS4G2008LOC@lists.osgeo.org<BR><A href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2008loc">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2008loc</A><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
