[postgis-users] Re: Cancelled Jeff Waugh Talk - GIS in Ubuntu

[John Taber]

Alex,
My posting was simply to help find a contact at Ubunutu to help get 
PostGis into Ubuntu Universe.  That contact is Martin Pitt at Canonical. 
  Now maybe you can talk to him directly to help get the debian packages 
into the new Dapper development stream.  And Blair could talk to Martin 
about getting the Breezy packages into the official backports.
thks
John
