Dear Cameron,<br>
<br>
The planning and organisation of FOSS4G-India 2012 is going on
fine and we are all set for the event to start on 25th Oct.<br>
<br>
Well, I wanted to inform you that I will make the overview
presentation, using the odp compiled by you, on 25th at the
Conference. <br>
And the OSGeo-Live DVD with the Conference proceedings will be
given to each of the participants. <br>
<br>
Also, around 100 OSGeo-Live DVD was distributed by Chaitanya Kumar
(of OSGeo-India) and PLN Raju (of IIRS) at the OSGeo-India
exhibition stall at OSGeo-India at the 32nd INCA Conference 2012,

Thank you for inviting me to participate. I've always been
fascinated by India, but I have very little opportunity to
travel at the moment, and so I will have to gracefully decline
the invitation.<br>
<br>
However I'd encourage either yourself or someone else make use
of elements from this presentation:<br>

Dear Cameron,<br>
<br>
Yes, we plan to do both the things you mentioned - (i)
Distribute the Live-DVD to all the participants as part of the
kit; and (ii) use the Live-DVD for the Hands-on workshops -
the reason we have said come with laptops that have DVD
drives.<br>
Sure, please go ahead and add it to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

We are in the process of planning the sessions, and were
planning to have one to discuss OSGeo, its activities and how
to become part and contribute. The presentation on the
Live-DVD can be planned in that session. <br>
It will be great if you can come over and present/particiapte.
Let me know.<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
Rajan<br>

Similar conferences often hand out OSGeo-Live DVDs to
participants, and/or use the DVD in workshops.<br>
Someone also usually gives the OSGeo-Live presentation.<br>
<br>
If you intend to make use of OSGeo-Live, I'd like to see
the conference added to:<br>

<div style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size:
12pt; color: #000000">Open Source Geospatial tools
are not just driving the use of the feature rich
tools but also propelling the development of new
and applied technologies for the use of the
Geospatial technology in range of fields - from
agriculture, forestry to resource management and
urban planning; from location based services on
web and mobile platforms to many e-governance
initiatives. This conference, for the first time
in India, will bring together the developers and
users of FOSS4G tools - academicians, researchers,
technologists, companies and entrepreneurs to
share, discuss and collaborate towards faster
adoption and use of the geospatial tools across
the country.<br>
<br>

of geospatial technologies and its allied sciences
in India. The Society and its activities are tuned
towards achieving its goals, both in the context
of software development, e-governance,
localization (Indian language support) and
building of awareness & outreach of such
software systems and publicly available geodata
