[OSGeo-Discuss] Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting

[Helena Mitasova]

I am planning to attend and I will be willing to chair a session - I  
planned to submit an abstract today
please let me know if we have enough people for the session so that I  
can adjust the abstract accordingly.
I can also help with the booth.
