[OSGeo-Conf] Regional Conference Coordination

[Guido Stein]

Hello Codrina,

I'm glad to see the board is interested in coordination.  Were any regional
conference organizers involved in that meeting?

I cannot make the meeting today, but would be happy to attend a future
meeting if you can provide a date and time

All the best from Massachusetts,

Guido
