dear geodata list,

This conversation drifted over from publicgeodata.org ...

https://geodata.osgeo.org/ is right now little more than a pointer to
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Public_Geospatial_Data_Project , and
that's really an early overview/braindump doc. It does contain a
decent pile of links to free and open geodata efforts nearby. It's
early days for this activity within OSGeo - we don't have a logo yet! - 
so there's no polished web material, (though there's been talk of
nice imagery, etc and there's enough on the wiki to refactor into a few
interesting pages.)

Members of this group maybe would have something more specific to
contribute to your talk material, Daniel... 

good luck!
