[Foss4g2009] OSGeo Translators: Final FOSS4G press release

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo Translaters,


 Could you please forward on one last FOSS4G press release to your 
communities, preferably with an introductory message about the 
conference. Something like:

    * "I presented at FOSS4G, you can see my presentation at ..."
    * "Look out for presentations about our project at ..."
    * "I strongly recommend watching Paul Ramsey's entertaining and
      informative presentation at ..."
    * ...

The press release is available at: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_41

Based on the prior experience of FOSSLC, the Open Source Conference 
video team, they find they get 30 times more video downloads than 
conference attendees which shows that there is significantly more 
interest in conferences than have budget to attend.

Thank you so much for your support of the FOSS4G conference. We have had 
glowing reports back from attendees about the success of the conference 
here:
