The Australian and New Zealand Metadata communities were engaged to try 
and 
get some momentum back into the seemingly stalled ANZLIC Metadata Catalog 
work based on GeoNetwork.

There is a lot of good will towards making GeoNetwork work as the tool of 
choice. Jeroen Ticheler arranged for ANZLIC development (BlueNet) to be 
developed within a Sandpit environment within the GeoNetwork community. 

The ensuing email thread showed how much open source spatial work
is happening in the region and good will towards working together.

OSGeo-AustNZ prepared a submission for the Victorian Government's 
Parliamentary 
Inquiry into Improving Access to Victorian Public Sector Information
and Data.

This submission was prepared at short notice and to a tight time frame and 
covers
a lot of current issues relating to open access to spatial data. 

The submission is available on the OSGeo-AustNZ wiki.     (or soon will be 
;-) )
