[Indonesia] FOSS GIS follow up sharing and training

[Wardiyono]

Everyone,

I am sure some of us, if not all, trying to install mapbender, 
mapserver, postgis on ubuntu. Can we share your experiences?

I am successfully replicate the whole training process based on Arnulf 
instructions in my computers. Using xubuntu 7.10 with 5 DVDs repository, 
the mapserver and all component is running both on my desktop and laptop.

Now, what next? Having able to display the shape and postgis maps is 
nice, but displaying the information attribute or link for each layers 
will be more important. A single polygon map of forest concessions, link 
to more than 10 different data table (see the example tables in 
http://iuphhk.fwi.or.id). It will not saying much without these tables.

Did any one able to do that on mapbender?

If i am not mistaken, it has to do with WFS function. The WFS 
capabilites should be set in Mapbender. How can we set the WFS 
capabilites on our mapserver? I have not read all the documentations 
yet,  may be the answer was there. Pitty that I did not have  24 hours 
internet connection. Did any one have an off-line documentation that can 
be share with everybody?

Or, Dr. Francis, is this a good time and a fine justification to call an 
advance training? 8-)

Regards,
Yono
