[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo in Paris

[Jacolin Yves]

Hi Kishor,

I will forward your mail to the Francophone mailing list may be some folks 
there will contact you.

I won't be in Paris since I will be at Victoria from the 21th of september. 
But one of the OSGeo-fr "board" will be in Paris. Could be nice to meet each 
other :)

Best regards,

Y.
