[OSGeo-Discuss] Dutch Local Chapter & OSGeo presentation

[deng dongpo]

Hi, Jeroen and Emil
I'm also interested in the Dutch Chapter. In fact I'm the initial member of
Taiwan Chapter, but studying in the Netherlands. It's very interesting that
there is a Dutch in our Chapter. At the moment, I will see how to join Dutch
Chapter. It seems to some knids of exchange!! Besides, we always have to
translate the information to English for out Dutch friend.  I agree
with Emil's idea, there might be no need to translate the information to
Dutch and I will be more easy to catch information about Dutch Chapter. ^_^
!

Cheers

Dongpo
