[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Technology review presentations - Web clients

[Cameron Shorter]

German Carillo has been building a gis web client comparison which will 
make a good basis for a foss4g presentation here:

Does anyone know how to contact German so that we can thank him, and 
invite him to participate in a FOSS4G presentation?

Who else would be available to help out with a browser comparison for 
the various projects?
