[OSGeo-Discuss] [Geo4All] Good news! We now have five past FOSS4G Conference Academic Proceedings (full proceedings and individual papers) available online

[Guido Stein]

Congratulations.

As a former chair of the conference I know how important this is to the
people who submitted their academic work. I also know how hard it is to get
things done.

You and your team have my sincerest gratitude for your work,

Guido
