[Foss4g2009] Australia has attracted a lot of foss4g delegates

[Cameron Shorter]

I've just been comparing 2009 registration figures with 2008 and 2007 
and was proud to discover that Australia has a high percentage of foss4g 
delegates per unit of population.
Ie, 40% more than South Africa, and 20% more than Canada.

If Australia happened to have a populous USA next door, instead of some 
sheep herders, our registration figures would have been quite impressive.

(Of note: New Zealand and Pacific Islands also punched above their 
weight providing delegates, much better than USA who provide a lot of 
people, but they should have 10x more.)

Liz, Ben, Maraget, John,
I really appreciate your marketing efforts during the ANZLIC roadshow 
and through the Spatial at Gov email list. I think this really tipped the 
balance.

(I'm rolling these figures into my Opening speech)
