[Fwd: Re: [OSGeo-Conf] 2011 Stage Two]

[Eric Wolf]

Cameron,

Sorry about not responding. I let it slide for two reasons:

1. I really want GITA to weigh in directly on the issue of sharing their
information. I believe they have said in the past that it won't be a
problem. But I want to give them the chance to be more specific.
Fortunately, since their bread and butter comes from running a trade
organization and not obscuring the details of conferences, I'm betting they
will be entirely open. Unfortunately, everyone at GITA is in Phoenix this
week running their main conference (as are most of the Denver LOC members).

2. Jeff said this issue doesn't need to be part of this first process and
can wait until later.

-Eric
