[OSGeo-Discuss] Where 2.0 Call For Participation Now Open

[Tyler Mitchell]

In the past we've had a good presence at this event.  This year they  
have an open call for participation.   I encourage anyone who is  
thinking of submitting anything open source related, to let the rest  
of us know, in case there is an opportunity to collaborate.
