[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G, plans (So am I just out of the loop . ..)

[Shorter, Cameron]

Jody,
With regards to tiling for the client, Steven Ottens is currently
incorporating tiling into Mapbuilder and has been coordinating to some
extent with OpenLayers and Kamap.  They have an email list set up - can't
remember what it is off the top of my head.
