[Fwd: RE: open source GIS - SA interest group]

[Chris Holmes]

What are our thoughts on making lists available for local area groups? 
While I was in Africa last year I spent a good bit of time in South 
Africa, and started to bring together an open source GIS interest group. 
  It fits right in with OSGEO, so I think this could be an obvious place 
for their group to live.

Perhaps a 'working group'?  Associated with the international committee 
(if we ever made one)?

Does osgeo.org or open plans offer free mailing list / groups services?
I need a host for the SA OS GIS mailing list. Or I could just go Yahoo
or Google groups, but it would be nice to use something from within the
community.
