Since my last post I’ve descended 3000m to pleasant coastal climes at Cove Rock near East London; tomorrow the long haul back to Jo’burg (10 hours). If you’re coming to FOSS4G, take a peek at just one of the thousands of kilometres of beaches you can sample on your travels around South Africa. Note the MapBender cap and Open Planning Project (GeoServer) T-shirt. I’m getting really excited with FOSS4G around the corner. Five weeks to go to a landmark event in Africa. A mouthwatering lineup of workshops, labs, presentations, social events, code sprint, demos, outreach activities, OpenStreetMap mapping party, lightning talks, guest speakers…I hope you’re coming.
