[OpenGeoscience] EGU 2017: Opportunities to attend

Wed Jan 11 23:46:57 PST 2017

Hi Peter,
As Raffaele said the deadline was extended and the system fixed so I
submitted my abstract and thus will certainly be in Vienna.

Regarding the Jeff idea of having OSGeo sponsoring one poster drink session
it would be nice, but what is the cost?

I'm thinking of proposing a course of istSOS, and that will of course be
done also as an OSGeo incubating project. Anyone there to make a GRASS
course too?

Best
Maxi
