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>

Board,
we have been invited to give a plenary address at the Africa
Geospatial Forum 2012. Unfortunately I cannot go on that date (which
is a pity because I never was in Ghana before). I send this to you in
the hope that someone form the board can accommodate this date.
Otherwise this might be a chance to leverage our new advocate list.
With Cameron on the board I trust that you can carry this forward. If
you need the letter addressed to your name please contact Megha
directly, she will be happy to provide it quickly.
...on my way now to OSGIS UK now which I could squeeze in at the last
moment and looking forward to meeting with Jo and the UK Local Chaps.
Cheers,
Arnulf

Trust you are doing well. We would like to invite you to deliver *a
Plenary Address at Africa Geospatial Forum 2012, which is scheduled

continent. This year, Africa Geospatial Forum has gained support from
Lands Commission, Ghana; Accra Metropolitan Municipality; Ministry of
Lands and Natural Resources, Ghana amongst others. We expect
participation of more than

Please find attached a formal invitation letter with this email.
