Hi Alicia,

Would it be okay if we handed our OSGeo presentation over to Jonah Sullivan?

Jonah has been actively involved in the local chapter of the Open Source 
Geospatial Foundation, including helping to organise our conference. He 
is also already scheduled to attend.

Alicia, Jonah,

I'll leave it up to you to coordinate remaining details.

Warm regards, Cameron
