[Qgis-psc] QGIS Question, infrastructure

[John Bryant]

Hi Lourens

My company Mammoth Geospatial (based in Perth) supports many WA-based
mining & exploration companies using QGIS. I don't have any specific
knowledge of ISO17001 but I'd be very interested to hear the outcome, and
would be happy to discuss with you and see if we can help at all.

Cheers
John
