[Foss4g2009] Backing ISO TC 211 meeting with the FOSS4G conference

[Cameron Shorter]

Chris Body, from Geosciences Australia and I were discussing the 
possibility of holding the ISO TC 211 standards meeting in Sydney, the 
week before or after the FOSS4G 2009 meeting.

This committee discuss ISO and OGC standards and is very closely aligned 
with FOSS4G, so there is likely to be a cross-over of participants.
I'm quite excited by the potential cross over of the two conferences.

Number of participants ~ 150 people.
The conference goes for 5 days, 3 days of workshops, followed by 2 
plenary sessions.
Chris can probably fill in more details.
