[Board] motion: accept f2f mins

Sat Mar 5 06:36:59 PST 2016

Helena,

By the way, I am preparing an OSGeo event on the GWF on May 24 in
Rotterdam, and I want to promote GEoforall. Can you help me finding
sombody who want to present that day?

I will also send a message on discuss, but personal contact is often
very efficiënt.

I also had a talk this week with the Ghent university and promoted
Geoforall. They should be convinced to start with a GEolab,
Any good startpoint or URL I can use?

thanks in advance,
Dirk
