[OSGeo-Discuss] Free GIS Day November 6, 2014 OSGéo - IGEAT (ULB) – Brussels (Belgium)

Sat Sep 13 02:18:33 PDT 2014

Thank you for your information.
Great to promote Open Source GIS tools, software and Data.

What I miss in the program is a presentation about OSGeo. OSGeo-fr
should be able to give such a presentation.
In 15 minutes you can already give a good overview on the organisation
and the way it is active on a global base.

Just my 2c.
