[OSGeo-Discuss] South African safety situation

[Guillaume Sueur]

Hi,

I'm happy you feel concerned about that. So do I, and even if I'm not 
frightened for my own safety, going in a country where such things are 
happenning put me in a real trouble. I know it can be silly to avoid the 
trip because of that, but I can't really figure out how to travel there 
in complete unconsciousness.

Guillaume
