[GeoForAll-Africa] FOSS4G Africa

[Gildas Jr. Boko]

Dear  all,

I've a user or OSGEO products for almost ten years now. And while i notice
a growing interest all over the world for these products and the creation
of FOSS4G chapters in different countries, in Africa there nothing like
that.
My idea is to organise a FOSS4G conference for OSGEO products users in
order to create a network of capacity-building and knowledge and
experience-sharing in all the possible fields.
I've been thinking about this for a while now and i think a centre like
RECTAS (www.rectas.org), where i've worked for the past two years can host
such event thanks to their experience in the GIS field and also their
hosting capacity.
Well that is an aspect on which everybody can discuss.

But i believe it is high time for a FOSS4G chapter in Africa.

Thanks in advance for your opinion on this idea
