[OSGeo-Conf] 2008 (pre) Announcement

[Paul Ramsey]

I'm happy with any date in the "more or less a year since last time"  
range.  Also recognize that there are probably a limited number of  
week-long block available at the conference center.  Perhaps local  
committee can get the comprehensive list of Aug-Oct blocks and we can  
(most importantly) match those up against the industry event  
calendar. For example, we don't want to overlap interGeo again.
