OSGeo board,
Is anyone available and interested in providing a plenary presentation
at the Africa Geospatial Forum, at your own expense?
Jeff, I understand you will be passing through Africa at the time. Are
you available and interested?
Otherwise I'll open the request to the Advocate list.
Megha, I'd like to send out a call for speakers to our public email
list, is that ok?
