[FOSS4G-Oceania] Letter of Intent to host FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2019 in Wellington, NZ

[adam steer]

Hi all, my only problem with wellington is that it isn’t anywhere near the
southern alps, and isn’t likely to be held in early spring :D

Great proposal. I echo John’s thoughts about capacity. It’s fantastic to
have NZ govt agencies willing to support!

Also, chalk me in to help out!
