Hi Mauri,

First of all, I want to thank you publicly for accepting this
invitation to represent the OSGeo and FOSS4G community, volunteering
time to spread the word about FOSS4G on forums non directly related
with free software is always MUCH appreciated.

The presentation at FOSS4G-Buenos Aires from the people of Foz do
Iguacu hyroelectric company was one of my favourites, so you have the
locals, but for sure your talk about OSGeo and FOSS4G use cases will
be greatly welcomed.

Thanks for replying Vincent, there were (at least) 3 talks on water
management at FOSS4G-Europe, I'm sure other projects will arise as
examples of good use of free software technologies on this area.

Cheers
