[OSGeo Africa] Wanted: Institution for Mirror for GRASS?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi Gavin

thanks - should have contacted you before, as I was in contact with SUN (Geography) as well and
they told me that you are already talking to them.

The other problem I had with sun mirrors is that they are really slow from outside sun (although
very nice within the SUN network). When SUN is setting up a GRASS mirror, it should be available
from outside SUN.

But as you say: additional mirrors are very welcome, especially if they are further north.

Are there any other African Universities represented on this list which could add some bandwidth
and hdd space for a GRASS mirror?


Thanks,

Rainer
