[Belgium] Fwd: BeGeo - OSGeo Belgium

[Dirk Frigne]

Dear Taïs,

Thank you for your contribution. I think this could be a good example of
an academic presentation. We expect more than 1400 Geo-experts during
the day, so we should be able to attract the public that could be
interested in your topic, although I think it may be  for a very
specific audience.

But presenting your presentation at BeGeo is a perfect way to mention if
you should consider to present also on the FOSS4G conference in Paris
next summer. I know for sure more people will attend that could be
interested in your topic, so please consider both...


Dirk.
