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
