Fixed issue 205. Registered students can't apply to become an organization. If for some reason the org sign up period and student sign up period are run in parallel and a student has applied to become an org, the application will still go through the normal system. Although the student won't be able to become an org admin until he has been invalidated as a student. Patch by: Lennard de Rijk Reviewed by: to-be-reviewed

def add_postgis_srs(srs):
    """
    This function takes a GDAL SpatialReference system and adds its
    information to the PostGIS `spatial_ref_sys` table -- enabling
    spatial transformations with PostGIS.  This is handy for adding
    spatial reference systems not included by default with PostGIS.  
    For example, the following adds the so-called "Google Maps Mercator 
    Projection" (available in GDAL 1.5):
    
    >>> add_postgis_srs(SpatialReference(900913))

    Note: By default, the `auth_name` is set to 'EPSG' -- this should
    probably be changed.
