[OSGeo-Conf] Fwd: [Board] Request for support of FOSS4G SotM Oceania community day

Thu Aug 9 21:44:15 PDT 2018

Hi all

Just a quick ping - how should we (FOSS4G SotM Oceania) proceed next for
TGP support?

I’d be happy to attend a conference committee meeting in Dar if it’s
helpful; but we need to get our program going before then :D

Cheers

Adam
