[Nobusuke Iwasaki (岩崎亘典)]

Dear Alex,

Thanks for the valuable info.
We’ll consider using Tito as one of our options.

Also, thanks for the kind suggestion about the website.
I’ll share the details with our web team.

See you soon in Auckland!

> And we have an open source website, which could be adapted by someone on your team: https://github.com/osgeo-oceania/foss4g-2025/

> Happy to do a handover of the tools, systems and processes that we used this year. Our LOC has been doing regional events for a few years, and have a lot of lessons learnt.
