<p>OSGeo and Spatial Community Leaders,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
Could you please forward on one last FOSS4G press release to your
communities, preferably with an introductory message about the
conference. Something like:
</p>
<ul>
<li> "I presented at FOSS4G, you can see my presentation at ..."
</li>
<li> "Look out for presentations about our project at ..."
</li>
<li> "I strongly recommend watching Paul Ramsey's entertaining and
informative presentation at ..."
</li>
<li> ...
</li>
</ul>
<p>The press release is available at: <a
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_41"
class="external free"
title="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_41"
rel="nofollow">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_41</a>
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>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: <a
