Hi Alize and LOC list, my response as > 


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?

>This is cutting it fine as some people may need to get on a bus to a UCT workshop. It might work IF all those tour people are staying for workshops at the CTICC and the bus isn't any later than that. Else it must leave earlier in the morning or cut the tour shorter. 

Alize, Petro, Graeme: Please edit the http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2008_Programme wiki to specify all bus departure and arrival times from all venues. 

2)Education tours update :
