As you can see from our OSGeo Advocate page, we do have access to
many highly qualified people who can speak on behalf of OSGeo.
Would you like us to investigate whether one of these speakers
will be available to present at the Africa Geospatial Forum?<br>

The OSGeo community is currently working out how we can be
more efficient and addressing requests such as yours for
speakers on behalf of OSGeo.<br>
<br>
In particular, we are building up a list of "OSGeo
Advocates" [1].<br>
<br>
For a keynote presentation from an international speaker,
you should expect that you will need to cover speaker
expenses [2]. Are you in a position to cover such
expenses?<br>
