Dirk,

For the closing session I don't think the economics of open source is
really what the begeo audience is looking for.

I would suggest a QA session, QA session: how can I do xxx in open source GIS.

People could send in questions by mail or on the booth/during the
track (on a flipchart/...), and we can try to suggest them approaches
to solve their problems.

We can always prepare some questions ourselves (eg how to contribute
/....) to make sure we have enough content.

Kind Regards,
Johan
