[Fwd: Re: [Foss4g2010] promoting foss4g2010 in other events]

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Seven, glad to receive such encouraging words from you.
If it's like you say, 2000 people would be a lot and this will be an 
event out of range for the memory of FOSS4G. We should take care in 
time. At least be able to take care, with the contract signed.
;-)

Paul, I can't grant this will be a perfect event but I'll do my best for 
sure. Same will be for the LOC and Grupo Pacifico.


About me supporting the event in Sydney, don't forget that I'll be 
traveling 4 month in Asia, starting in a couple of weeks. Probably not 
in India but I'm intended to join some people that Venka suggested in 
Bankok and Hanoi. Naturally I will promote the FOSS4G2009.
Is there a flyer for the public I can download and print here and there?

a hug to you and Jeroen, sad not to be there with you two.
