Thanks Jonah for offering to present. Does anyone else want to challenge Jonah for the honour? Greg? Adam? Alex?

I was planning to use the slide deck I used at foss4g (which can now be extended from 5 to 12 mins)

The abstract that was accepted is:

Title:

Learning the Open Source Geospatial toolkit in five minutes

Abstract:

Last

November there was a four day conference dedicated to free and open source software held in Melbourne. It attracted over 200 people, twice as many as expected. Organisations are adopting these technologies, people are being trained in it and job advertisements

request these skills.

Want

to learn what the all the buzz is about? This presentation summarises the key open geospatial technologies in a five minute elevator pitch.

Presenter

Hi Alicia,

We have been discussing the Open Source Geospatial Foundation's presence at Locate, and some of our board members are planning to attend, and I understand will be available to present. How would you like us to proceed re transferring speakers?

Warm regards, Cameron

Dear Cameron,

We’re sorry to hear this news. At this stage we have other people on a waiting list who would be registering to attend so unless there is someone who can present on your behalf and register as a speaker, we’ll have to withdraw your paper and offer the spot to the next person.

Kind regards,

Alicia Smith

Hi,
Much as I'd love to come to Locate, I'm reluctantly going to have to decline. (My employer is not in a position to be able to cover my attendance.).

However, if you like I can reach out other board members of our local chapter of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, some of who live in Melbourne. I expect that one of them would be prepared to present if they could get a free pass for the session they are presenting at.

Warm regards,
