[Board] About presentation at GWF-2017

[Jody Garnett]

That sounds fun:

A) whoever has the budget commitment ... this is about sustainability right
:)
B) like how financial support was assumed, call them on that ... From an
OSGeo perspective both academia and industry can collaborate on software,
as enabled by selection of open source licence and appropriate governance
structure (so think partnership rather than "lead" as in (a) above
C) what is conservative with respect to commercialization? Like they want
to keep it close and use patents to treat industry like a profit Center
(hard to argue against if that is institution policy) or they want low risk
of having a vendor (easy to argue against)
D) ...

What are your plans for FOSS4G Asia? Are you speaking, are your travel
plans covered, etc...
