[Foss4g2012] [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo meet up in Tokyo

["Toru Mori (森 亮)"]

Cameron,

Thank you very much for the advice. We will contact the LOC and make use of the potential presenters list.

I have got just one reply who wanted to attend both Tokyo (SotM) and Beijing (FOSS4G) for now.
Anybody want to join the meet up in Tokyo?
We, Japan chapter would like to know how many people would join there.

Toru
