Fedora Geo/GIS Spin

[Viji V Nair]

Hi,

I would like to know if there is anyone actively working on Fedora GIS
Spin, if yes I would like to be a part of it.

If no I would like to takeover the follwoing and continue the
development. I have been working on GIS projects (FOSS based) for the
last four years. I have cople of friends with me, they are also
interested on the same. I think we can release a spin for the coming
release, F15.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GIS

Your help and advice on the same would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Viji Nair

Perhaps you can bring it up on the Spins list and also work within the
Spins SIG to get all the things required to make a F15 release
possible.

A spin that enables GIS end users, contributors to use Fedora would
sure be nice to have.

I haven't heard anything from them in a while. It should be safe to work
on it. (The ks file also isn't in the spin-kickstarts package.)

While bringing it up on the list can be useful for collaboration with people
working on other spins, the future direction of the SIG is unknown. Some
people are supposed to discuss that at the Tempe FUDCON.

Contacting the GIS SIG (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GIS) might also prove
useful for you.
