[Foss4g2009] Re: International Community wanting to network with Government at FOSS4G [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Cameron Shorter]

As discussed, with you, it would be great if you could lead for a "Birds 
of a Feather" session at the FOSS4G conference.
Your experience heading up an Australian Open Technology Framework 
government consulting body will provide you with an excellent background 
to steer discussions.
