[OSGeo-Board] Re: GIS Development in Africa

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Hi MPG,

During FOSS4G2006 Assefa of DM Solutions
expressed interest to participate in
Map Africa.

I wonder if he has time to go there.
The conference is from 20-22 Nov, 2006
(http://mapafrica.gisdevelopment.net/)
Guess we have have to decide soon and
inform Sanjay about possibility of
participation.

Sanjay has been a supporter if OSGeo and
has been highlighting recent OSGeo developments
in his portal
(http://www.gisdevelopment.net/news/viewn.asp?id=GIS:N_timrdqobnf)

I think Map Africa is a good forum to promote
OSGeo. Unfortunately, I will not be able to
participate in this event.

Kind regards

Venka
