[OSGeo Oceania] [talk-au] Publishing data as vector tiles/something else

[Adam Steer]

Hi Ben

I knew about Tippecanoe - and will also give it a go. Thanks for the
reminder! Like all unfunded projects the whole idea is prone to being put
on the back burner (or in the back of a dark cupboard ).. might see some
action soon!

Cheers,

Adam
