Hi Cameron,
I have spoken to Maxim and am committed to giving an OSGeo talk there
next month (will have more on this for you soon, currently doing the
research on that); and since Daria is handling the GeoForAll talk, I
agree that having an additional 3rd person dedicated to OSGeo-Live is a
good idea, the more OSGeo talks the better! If not, I will for sure
introduce it during my keynote talk.
