[California] Preliminary Track Schedule for OSGeo Open Source Track at CLSA 2014 Conference

[Landon Blake]

I'm close to finalizing our schedule for the open source GIS track at the
2014 CLSA Conference:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CLSA_2014_Conference_OSGeo_Open_Source_GIS_Track#Speaker_Biographies

Ragi and Jeff: Could you add a short bio paragraph to the wiki page? Or
send it to me by e-mail and I will add it.

I've still got room for a 1 or 2 hour talk/workshop on GIS programming at
the end of the session. Is there anyone willing to teach? Something on
Python or R or Ruby?

Let me know.

Landon
