Tim, Gavin and others,
My primary concern with the OSGeo Africa chapter is it's area
of responsibility. It seems to me that having it be a branch of
GISSA implies that it is really a South African OSGeo chapter.
Can you update the chapter page to discuss the territorial ambit
of the chapter, and how you can ensure broad participation from
across the region?
Best regards,
