[OSGeo Africa] [Fwd: [SDI-Africa] Teaching Materials on OS GIS]

Mon Feb 14 01:51:58 EST 2011

Thanks you Dawn for your email, I am not aware if we do have a representative from NEPAD though this should be encouraged and should include contacts from AU and UNECA if not already in the discussion grouping to offer advice if not encouragement.

Kindest regards.

Heya All.

This is awesome work from you all.

I do have to question whether we have a representative from the NEPAD
Open Source team in the Presidents office on board?
Does anyone know if this is still being developed or if it has stagnated?
We might take a gap and offer through training to get it on board
again if we dont have a rep?
