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 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 http://africa.osgeo.org. To find out more  about osgeo in
general, see www.osgeo.org.



Recent events: In April Jody  Garnett of UDIG and GeoServer visited
Johannesburgand 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 Africaand 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
