[OSGeo-Discuss] RE: [OSGeo-Conf] Short report about FOSS4G-CEE 2012 with outlook to coming years

[nicolas bozon]

Yes i'd be interested too Jachym.

I've already heard many good feedbacks about FOSS4G-CEE, although i'm not

certainly reduce the costs. That's pretty awesome.

And thank you again for both the report and good pictures !

Happy GRASS GIS Sprint to all

Best,

Nick
