[Board] Fwd: RE: Open Source track for Geospatial World Forum 2012

[Ari Jolma]

Arnulf, the board,

I did not know about this event - their marketing hasn't been very 
extensive (this is the one that has been in India before?). The deadline 
for abstracts is now extended to 20 November (from the 28 Oct in your 
pdf) - let's announce it on the discuss list.

I don't recognize anybody on the programme committee - who I suppose 
will review the abstracts - do you how we can have a say on that?

Regards,

Ari
