[Board] FOSS4G-FR 2014

[Daniel Morissette]

Hi Vincent,

Thank you for sharing this info. FYI as I added the May 20-22 dates on 
my calendar I noticed a potential conflict with the Location 
Intelligence conference held on the same dates in Washington and where 
LcationTech will hold open source sessions:

Probably not a problem for anyone other than me, so I am just relaying 
the info FYI.

Daniel
