Frans, I'm afraid I am not completely certain what the ">>>" operator means in the above context. I actually used FOSS4G in two ways. Once to refer to the conference and once to refer to vague general idea of free and open source geospatial software that OSGeo works to promote. I do consider Mapnik well aligned with OSGeo and it's goals if that is what you mean, and it is entirely reasonable for OSGeo oriented people and groups to promote Mapnik and lots of other open source software not formally affiliated with OSGeo. > i try to make sure all confirmed. because i want to bring mapnik content to > FOSS4G Indonesia.. > esp OSM is cool project.. Yes, OSM is also a great project and filling an important role in providing free data to the world - also a goal of OSGeo.
