[FOSS4G-Oceania] Call for workshops winding up

[Andrew Harvey]

But the Free in Free and Open Source means freely licensed notfree as in
cost (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software).
My point is simply it's a joint FOSS4G and State of the Map, and the
OpenStreetMap talks, workshops, community day shouldn't need to be
strictly free and open source (of course, it's nicer if they are, but I
and other people coming from the SotM side are likely still interested
in hearing about commercial and proprietary things which are happening
with OSM).
