[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: [Foss4g2015-asia] End of MERS in Korea

[Jeff McKenna]

Thanks for sharing this great news Sanghee.  I believe that Sanghee and 
the local committee did a great job to arrange the large industry event 
"Smart Geospatial Expo" at the same venue and aligned with the FOSS4G 
program.  Quite an opportunity for FOSS4G-ers to see such great 
innovation in Asia!
