[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSDEM

[Ari Jolma]

Dear All,

I haven't seen FOSDEM(1) mentioned in OSGeo discussions. I haven't been 
to one, but it seems interesting, the major European FOSS conference 
perhaps?

It lacks a FOSS4G devroom. However, it has a Perl one, so I'm 
considering submitting a talk there.

There is also something they call "Certification Exams"(2), which are 
exams with a price tag organized by Linux Professional Institute for 
example. OSGeo edu committee is mainly a university-oriented group and 
training for FOSS4G is a delicate topic, but maybe worth a thought.

Reagrds,

Ari
