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

[Cameron Shorter]

Eric,
In the interests of giving Denver more time to prepare for foss4g2011, 
I'm changing my vote on moving to stage 2 to +1.

However, I would like to see a commitment from Denver within the next 
few weeks, and definitely before the completion of stage 2, toward 
creating Open documentation and artefacts during the conference preparation.
