[FOSS4G-Oceania] Request from The Spatial Community Slack channel

[Alex Leith]

I'm not in support of this. -1

We haven't discussed giving any free tickets at all, yet. And with out
ceiling of 150 participants, I'm suspicious that we're going to sell out,
so we don't need any cross-promotion.

I do appreciate The Spatial Community reaching out, and I'm somewhat active
over there and have been dropping info in a couple of channels from
time-to-time.
