[OSGeo Africa] Data interchange between opensource GIS and ArcGIS

[Hanlie Pretorius]

Thanks Gerhard, interesting idea. I assume you meant Postgres DB
instead of postures DB?

I haven't worked with spatialite before, would like to try that as
well. Looks like one can use it as a backend for map services and
feature services.

Cheers
Hanlie
