[FOSS4G-Oceania] Pacific funding - blog post help?

[Cameron Shorter]

Ok, I've just tweaked a few words, and added a wrap up statement at the end:

**

*If you’d like to hear about the strengths and weaknesses of this 
approach, along with many related presentations, then do come along to 
the FOSS4G-Oceania conference <https://foss4g-oceania.org/>this November.*

**

Based on wording here, it seems we are planning to guarantee these 
people a presentation slot. I'm ok with that as I think this is a 
strategic relationship which should be supported.

There is potential to get one of the presenters to add comment about 
what they plan to talk about, maybe as a quote. If someone wants to 
introduce to these people, via email or similar, I'd be happy to work 
with them to get the wording right.
Otherwise, the text is good as it is to go out:
