Stewart, Ross,<br>
It seems that the international conference for Free and Open Source
Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) was not mentioned in one of the SSSI
recent newsletters.<br>
<br>
As organised earlier, SSSI members receive a 5% discount to the
conference, as well as 30 CDP points.<br>

Would it be possible to send out an additional message to members with
details similar to the following:<br>
<br>
<b><font color="#ff0000">Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial
2009 Conference</font></b>
<font color="#5e5e5e">Carrying on the FOSS4G conference tradition 2009
will present a comprehensive agenda, combining content from across the
geospatial spectrum.</font>
<font color="#5e5e5e">In line with the 2009 theme, "User Driven", the
conference will have renewed focus on the business imperatives for
adopting open source solutions. The program will contain a broad range
of presentations and case studies that address the topics of interest
to managers and decision makers as well as those that may be more
technically orientated.</font>
<font color="#5e5e5e">There is a supurb range of workshops and
tuitorials that will appeal to those new to geospatial and looking to
get started, and to those that are keen to expand their skills and take
their existing implementations and projects to the next level.</font>
<font color="#5e5e5e">FOSS4G 2009 also boasts a excellent range of
keynote speakers. FOSS4G is a unique event which collects together a
global community into a single location for an intensive week of
activity. Year on year, FOSS4G provides a great opportunity to take
part in a very special event, where ideas mix together with language to
create a network of collaboration and creativity.</font>
