[OSGeo Africa] FOSS GIS Unconference before AfricaGeo on June 30

[Gavin Fleming]

Great Chris

STDM would be a fantastic topic. It ties right in with AfricaGeo and 
since it doesn't feature on the AfricaGeo programme I'd say it's almost 
an essential part of the the conference week. Anyone interested in land 
tenure and land administration should come.

Furthermore it was only launched as an open source QGIS plugin last week 
at the FIG conference in Malaysia, so it is a hot topic.

I'm interested in how STDM and FLOSS SOLA could work together. SOLA is 
an open source land administration system for managing formal land 
parcels and ownership and was recently implemented close by in Lesotho.

Looking forward to Monday

PS: More replies like Chris' are just was I was after on the list. If 
you're just saying 'yes', rather add your name to 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AfricaGEO_2014. If you are NOT coming, PLEASE 
DON'T REPLY. 800 people don't need to know that you're not coming.
