 For the [http://www.foss4g2008.org/ FOSS4G2008 conference] in Cape Town, South Africa (September 29 - Oct 3, 2008) the OSGeo [[Public Geospatial Data Committee]] would like to pull together a catalog of local data from the area around Cape Town so that there would be a readily available pool of services and local datasets for Exhibitors and Presenters to use during the conference.  The hope is that this will bring attention to the efforts being
 made by the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee]] committee.  Benefits to the conference would be fast access to services (if we were to host them somewhere locally during the conference), an increased local feel, and a resource so that we could see different applications all working with the same data.
