Will not be able to attend the conf call @ 15h30

PLease note the following for discussion on my side

1) Technical tours : The ISSA visit in Houwtec might take a bit longer and result in the delegates only getting to the CTICC @ 13h00. Is this to late for Lunch? Can we organise with CTICC? Else I must organise with ISSA to do a finger lunch there. However this is then additional costs. What is your opinion?


2)Education tours update :

Friday 26th September = DONE
All is finalised and Martin Dresen from Germany(presenter) and Julian from UCT is sorting out course details. Julian have 22 spaces which he has advertised to his post-grad students and I have advertised it to UWC, Stellenbosch and cape peninsula.

    Option 2.Demos of internet examples for grades 10 - 12 for teachers who don't want to learn GIS but want     to know where to find examples to use in the classroom. 
    Option 3. Hands-on exposure to GIS

Carrin, Is everything organised with Bronwen Foster?


Friday sessions at  Bishop = Urgently in search of 1 presenter
Need 1 presenter urgently here as we have a full house of geography teachers attending. If all else fail I'm getting GIMS? *Option 4. Hands-on demo for geography teachers with exercises they can implement back in school. Talk on what is happening in the international scene with GIS in Education. Exposure to OS GIS software.


We have e-mailed Graeme's workshop list, the  OSM guy's  and NSIF and only received 1 taker for the student session on Friday @ UCT Environmental lab. 

Any suggestions on presenters?
