Are there any OSGeo types heading to Geospatial World Forum? If so,
would you be interested in manning an OSGeo booth if we were able to
secure one? If we can get a few interested people, then we could
approach the organisors to see if they can organise a booth for us.<br>

What we can commit to is creating an ISO image for the DVD,
which is up <br>
to date, and of excellent quality (being developed by close to
100 <br>
volunteers).<br>
<br>
What we would expect from the conference is:<br>
* Someone on the ground who can coordinate printing and
delivery of <br>
DVDs. (We can tell you how).<br>
* Budget to cover the print costs, at ~ $2 per DVD (depending
on size of <br>
print run). This is usually factored into the conference
budget costs.<br>
* Is this something that you can help coordinate?<br>
* You also have the option of handing out the DVD to all
delegates, or <br>
handing them out from an OSGeo booth or similar. (These DVDs
are usually <br>
the most sought after item from the OSGeo booths that I have
manned in <br>
the past).<br>
