[OSGeo Africa] reminder: Survey of FOSS GIS usage in South Africa

[S Coetzer]

Hi Gavin

Sorry for late reply. I haven't check emails for a while.

Im an Oracle Spatial Developer for Gijima working on the Vulindlela project
<http://eepublishers.co.za/article/mmuso-riba-107-02-vulindlela-project.html>
We are essentially developing software to automate the administration of
the South African Cadastre by integrating Deeds and Chief Surveyor General
business processses.
The spatial module will contain several open source products such as GDAL
for importing and exporting spatial layers into various formats and
Openlayers & GeoExt to support client-side mapping functions.

What we are definitely following is OGC standards (for whats its worth).



Regards,



*Sarel Coetzer*
