OSGeo is definitely more important to me than hanging about in BXL
'networking' with O'Reilly's handpicked, and i'd be into staying on
an extra day after FOSS4G if it worked out this way.

The idea was discussed but not in a very specific way, more in a "this
has been nice and we should try to see one another more often, and the
next time that's likely to happen will be at F0SS4G" way. I wonder what
chance there is of you backing out of institutional commitments on the
grounds of the common good of the greater distributed institution...
