[OSGeo-Discuss] AAG 2009 Call for Papers

[Alex Mandel]

Cameron,

Yes, please send me the presentations off-list I will be more than happy
to give one of them at the AAG since I'm going anyways and haven't
settled on a topic to present yet.

I'll probably due the second one as I may have more experience with it
but we'll see based on content.

Thanks,
Alex
