[OSGeo-Discuss] Data for the Integration Showcase

[Bob Basques]

Justin,

I was trying to set up a standalone install.  I was the one confused to 
start wit, sorry about that.

This stand alone service I was thinking about would simply display the 
data in our application as a demonstrator.

I'm not attending the conference either.  Having a standalone interface 
has some promotional advantages on this end.
