[OSGeo-Discuss] What usually your local chapter exhibit in a conference?

[Yves Jacolin (free)]

Hi,

Here some idea "from" the Francophone LC. 

In the past, we organised an OpenSource village inside a tradeshow with help 
of local company (c2c). We gave to visitors of the OSGeo-fr booth an USB key 
with OSGeo logo on the key and PDF flyer inside (in french). In the futur we 
plan to add some aplications via OSGeo4w and data (from OpenStreetMap).

We organized in the Open Source village and outside some conferences, birds of 
feather, all kind of animation we can find in FOSS4G ;)

Regards,

Y.
