Hi all

You are invited to attend a free Unconference covering anything
related to FOSS GIS.

Date: Monday 30 June from 9h00 for as long as you want.
Venue: NGI, Mowbray
Cost: Free
Bring: your own device
Bring optionally: your own data, GPS, smartphone
Hosts: OSGeo Africa Local Chapter
- Jeff McKenna - OSGeo President and Mapserver guru
- Tim Sutton - OSGeo charter member and Mr QGIS South Africa
- Gavin Fleming - OSGeo charter member and general FOSS GIS
advocate and user
- other volunteers

We could do any or all of the below, or whatever you can dream up:

- talks
- mini workshops
- discussion
- mapping
- cartography
- installing and setting up software
- demonstrations

Software: QGIS, PostGIS, MapServer, Geoserver, OpenLayers, STDM, FLOSS
SOLA, OSGeo Live and more

Please indicate on the list if you are interested and likely to come, or
if you have any ideas for the day.

One great idea suggested already is to talk about / set up / apply the
new STDM (Social Tenure Domain Model) that was launched at FIG last week
in Malaysia. It is implemented as an Open Source QGIS plugin that uses
PostgreSQL 9.2 with PostGIS 2.1.

STDM is a land information tool developed on FOSS that offers a
complementary land administration system that is pro-poor,
gender-sensitive, affordable and sustainable: http://www.stdm.gltn.net/

Regards, and hope to see you then.
