of 2010, will offer a download of OS OpenData formatted in in PostGIS ,
possibly with MapServer / GeoServer styling definitions provided with
the goal of people having a way to start using OS OpenData very
quickly. (May need help/thoughts from others on training material to be
written in early 2011)<br>

<br>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Also, I hope you'll
all be glad to know that in my fund-raising role (at the Bar) for
OSGeo:UK<i> I've managed to secure £500 sponsorship from 1Spatial</i>
and also a possible commitment of one of their guys to help us drive
things forward. Jo, how do we get this done? Does OSGeo:UK invoice
1Spatial?</font></p>

Thanks<br>
