Hi,
I'm happy you feel concerned about that. So do I, and even if I'm not
frightened for my own safety, going in a country where such things are
happenning put me in a real trouble. I know it can be silly to avoid the
trip because of that, but I can't really figure out how to travel there

Hi all and thanks for bringing it up Paolo
Yes we are sadly going through a spate of unrest and criminal violence in
poverty-stricken neighbourhoods in South Africa, mainly against foreigners from
other parts of Africa. 'xenophobic attacks' as they are labelled. Believe me,
we have to and will
Looking at my African travel experience I doubt that this will really
affect us. The violence is mostly against people who are "stealing" jobs in
the eyes of some South-Africans, so tourists should be relatively safe. I
would be more worried if I would be planning a cruise on the coast of

Same here. I can't see leaving three out in the cold.
By the way, I think it may be time for me to "retire" from Charter
Member status since my geo-being has changed to the point where I'm
pretty far removed from the OSGeo mainstream (no, I'm not using
proprietary software!).

+1 on making all 18 charter members. I know I can personally vouch for
both Martin Davis and Markus Lupp.
