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

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi Cameron,

Yepp. We'll attend GISAS conference as a exhibitor at 30, April. And we have
another plan to show ourselves to other GIS related conference before FOSS4G
2009. If you send postcards to us, that would be very nice.

Do you want my address?

regards,
