Hi all,
Unfortunately this message came to late to us and it is impossible to
arrange this trip in so short term. But for next years, due the fact,
that we are starting support for FOSS GIS solution in Africa (we are
cooperating on building Educational and Research Lab on Tswana
University and on building Portal for Mapping influence of Climate
changes in Tanzania), we are extremely interesting in next years to
promote OSGEO activities in Africa

Megha,
As you can see from our OSGeo Advocate page, we do have access to many
highly qualified people who can speak on behalf of OSGeo. Would you like
us to investigate whether one of these speakers will be available to
present at the Africa Geospatial Forum?
