[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2016 - Bonn - OSGeo Booth

[Jody Garnett]

You may be missing how spread our leaders are and how they often have
responsibilities to represent their communities, projects and employers.

Also there is this distraction of trying to attend a conference you paid to
attended. As you recall in 2009 it was very hard to ask for volunteers due
to this tension - making the both into a meeting place is a good idea. In
also remember it turning into a USB factory in Denver.
