[OSGeo-Board] [Fwd: OSGF at Where 2.0]

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

FYI
they asked me as well for a GRASS talk: since it's pretty far away, we
(some GRASS developers) suggested Dylan Beaudette from the
GRASS community to go who is only 3hrs away from the conference
place. He can likely not represent OSGeo there, so it will be a pure
GRASS talk. Would be nice to go, though...
