[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Conference resources working group

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello Luca, hello all,

thanks Luca for the idea. I support it strongly. We have such a 
structure for the FOSSGIS conference too and it helps a lot.

I added my name to the page and I am happy to support FOSS4Gs.

See you Astrid
