[Foss4g2009-private] Re: [OSGeo-Conf] presenting foss4g2010 at foss4g1009

Ok, we currently have 45 minutes allocated to Conference Close and Sol 
Katz Award. How does this sound? Feel free to suggest increasing or 
decreasing slots by 5 to 10 minutes.


15:50 Sol Katz Award, who is doing this?

16:00 Introduction to FOSS4G 2010, Lorenzo Becchi

16:10 Thanks to the LOC, Arnulf Christl
Arnulf might want to also cover a message from OSGeo Board about 
direction of OSGeo or similar here.

16:20 Conference Close, Cameron Shorter
1. Thanks to all delegates, presenters,  sponsors, etc
2. Thanks to all OC
4. A summary of the conference (nothing deep, just perhaps a few words 
that reflect your experience of the conference and perhaps some comments 
you've heard over the previous few days from delegates)

16:30 Finish
