Hi,
just a thought, Jody is back in the country and we will arrange a uDig
course. Is any one interested in taking part in this? Let me know.
 
Regards,
Markus

Hi all

 

Some of you were on the HYPERLINK
"mailto:Africa at mail.osgeo.org"Africa at mail.osgeo.org list and the rest I’ve
taken the liberty of adding. The guys at OSGEO decided to create a
standalone project for this community rather than just a mailing list, hence
the slight change in e-mail address. Please make a note of it and spread the
word about this forum.

 

To find out more about the purpose of this list and the Africa OSGEO
project, go to HYPERLINK "http://africa.osgeo.org/"http://africa.osgeo.org.
To find out more about osgeo in general, see HYPERLINK
"http://www.osgeo.org/"www.osgeo.org. 

 

Recent events: In April Jody Garnett of UDIG and GeoServer visited
Johannesburg and held a workshop. See the archive for news of that. A few
weeks ago it was GIS week. Did any of you participate with an Open Source
GIS emphasis? On that note are any of you involved with or aware of any GIS
education activities using open source GIS? GIS is in the high school
syllabus from this year in South Africa and we need OS GIS resources that
can ‘compete’ with the proprietary offerings, particularly for disadvantaged
schools and communities. 

 

Please use this list for all your ideas, questions, technical discussion,
etc. regarding OS GIS anywhere in Africa. 

 

Regards
