dear freegis list, The Public Geodata initiative is writing to 25 European Environment Ministers asking for their position on a couple of critical points in the proposed INSPIRE Directive establishing a spatial data infrastructure in Europe. It's due to come up in the Council, at which they vote, in about a month's time. We have had really good response to our call for translators but there are a lot of countries we haven't covered local language for yet: Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Malta, Austria (is writing in German good enough?), Portugal, Greece and Cyprus (is writing in Greek appropriate?) http://publicgeodata.org/Open_Letter_Third_Reading - the text is about 2/3 of an A4 page and would be about 10-15 minutes work. If there is any way in which you could help or find a friend to help that would be great; it's important to find out Ministers' positions before the vote; we can write in English, but I bet we'll get a better response if we write in local language. If you can help please email me and / or make a wiki page before you start. cheers, jo
