[OSGeo-Discuss] A FOSS Geo Project in India

[Sajith VK]

Hi all,
Thanks for the encouraging mails. We will release the documentations
etc along with the official inauguration of the project. As Tyler suggested
we also write article on OSGeo journal, however, we will be able to do that
along with the official inauguration of the project.

In the mean time, I have started a blog to share some of the small scripts and
tools we developed for the requirements of this projects. Please have a look
at freedomgis.worpress.com
