[geojquery] GeoJQuery posterpresentation at FOSS4G2010 in Barcelona

[Christian Wygoda]

Hi Marc,

I can probably manage to make one Friday, but can't promise for sure as I am
busy preparing for my vacation, too.
Probably some text on what, why and how plus all information to join up the
party.

Cheers,
  C
