[Board] OSGeo / OSGeo-Live / LocationTech & Location Intelligence conference

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Andrew,
I see that you are on the agenda to speak at the "Location Intelligence" 
conference on behalf of LocationTech. This is good to see.

I have been trading emails with Joe Francia, from Directions magazine 
who I understand has been involved in the coordination of Location 
Intelligence. He has pointed out that there is an overlap of one of the 
days with FOSS4G-NA, which is disappointing. But he has also suggested 
that an OSGeo presenter is not required as LocationTech better 
represents the broader Open Source community.

So I see this Location Intelligence conference as an opportunity to help 
define the relationship between LocationTech and OSGeo. Key questions I 
see is:
1. How will OSGeo be presented at this conference?
2. Will you be talking to the strengths of OSGeo in your presentation 
(as well as the advantages that LocationTech provides)?
3. Will you be promoting OSGeo-Live, which is arguably the most 
effective promotion pipeline OSGeo projects have to promote their 
products? (Either referring to it in your presentation, or handing out 
from a booth)
4. Would you welcome an OSGeo people at a LocationTech booth (assuming 
you have one)?

Feel free to CC Joe into this email thread if you think it appropriate.
