Subject: [geo-discuss] contacts for national environment ministers
http://publicgeodata.org/Contact_Your_Minister is replacing the old
'contact your environment department' page. Benjamin dug up a document
which contained a list of all ministers attending a recent Council
meeting which is now here http://tinyurl.com/eo3zm and contains names
of all ministries though they are in English. The whole page I hope to
fill out a bit better and float on the freegis list soon.
I spent a little while searching the web for contact details for some
of them, in the languages i have half a hope of following. a lot of
people have wikipedia pages which is great. If anyone feels like
helping out with this for five minutes, digging out the contact pages
and department homepages for different national environment
ministries, that would be appreciated. The ease with which one can
find a representative's details and contact them is a fun indicator of
the health of a national democracy... ;)

Hey,
the German federal environmental portal uses standardized Open Source
software to disseminates spatial data as WMS without access
restrictions. It does not know a lot yet (there is little data in it)
but it feels like going into the right direction ...or rather left
direction? Whatever, its going somewhere and the people operating the
site are interested in collaborating (sure - thats not the
decision-makers but the doers but sometimes thats even better).

Hopefully we will be able to set up a library of freely available WMS at
OSGeo.org soon as there are quite a lot out there but nobody knows about
them.
Regards, Arnulf.
