Thanks Simon,

I was hoping to get some interest from commercial organisations to run this.

I may need to talk with some colleagues at the Bureau and include you in the line up.

Hi Bruce,

Is the SSSI YP function in Melbourne? I'm not geared up to provide a
technical workshop for the SSSI YPs, but if you think it's suitable, I'd
like to offer to do a twenty minute presentation on 'Introduction to Free
and Open Source Geospatial Software'.

I've delivered this presentation before at a couple of conferences and
regional groups, and have had positive responses, and definitely got people
interested in exploring the open source avenue.

If you think that that they might be interested, please forward my idea to
them or send me/them the respective contact details.

Cheers,

Simon
