hi all

glad Geoff raise this and introduce indonesia, i am cc also to Arnulf which
has trained us sevral time ago in Jakarta.

tsunami case in Aceh, i know the guy that install the mapserver, he also
help me understand MapServer.

and also inwent.org with UNDP did donate for FREE training for Trainer

of this, arnulf is the instructor).

right now, Geoff also help us to penetrate Map Guide OpenSource here, and we
