SUBJECT: Open Source Geospatial Foundation Announces Request for 
Proposal for Hosting 2009 Conference

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, today released a 
request for proposal, or RFP, (available at 
http://www.osgeo.org/sites/osgeo.org/files/webfiles/conference/rfp/2009/osgeo-conference-2009-request-for-proposal.pdf) 
for the hosting of the FOSS4G 2009 conference. With the overwhelming 
success of the recent FOSS4G 2007 conference in Victoria Canada 
(http://www.foss4g2007.org/), and as excitement begins to build for 
FOSS4G 2008 in Cape Town South Africa (http://www.foss4g2008.org/), 
OSGeo again aims for the 2009 conference to be a major geospatial 
conference during that year. The RFP solicitation closes January 11th, 2008.
