    Hi George,<br>
    I'm not sure if Andrea Ross (CCed) has been included in your
    conversations to date? She coordinates LocationTech, the geospatial
    arm of the Eclipse Foundation. I suspect you will find her both
    interested and valuable in progressing your goals.<br>
    <br>
    I do like your goals of collaborating between open source
    organisations related to geospatial. This happens to be at the core
    of both the OSGeo Foundation and LocationTech as well.<br>
    <br>
    With regards to a summary of Open Source Geospatial, I suggest
    looking at the OSGeo-Live presentation (with script):<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/">http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/</a><br>
    It aims to be a lightening FOSS4G conference, covered in a 30 min
    presentation.<br>
    I'll leave it to you to distill further down to a one minute slide.
    :)<br>
    (You are free to copy or change the material as you see fit)<br>
    <br>
    Warm regards, Cameron <br>
