[FOSS4G2016] keynoter for DisMan RE: LOC FOSS4G 2016 - please wake up again!

Sat Apr 23 01:27:32 PDT 2016

Haven't had contact with anybody from UN-Ocha yet.
Had a look at my LinkedIn contacts, of the Swiss-based UN-Ocha I've got 4 second level connections:
- Andrej Verity (information management officer, LinkedIn contact through Steven Ramage)
- Luca Dell'Oro (GIS coordinator, contact through Edward Melger - Deltares)
- Kristina  (information Management officer, Linkedin contact through Steven Ramage)
- CJ Hendrix (information management officer & gis specialist, contact through Jeroen Ticheler)

But first let's wait until Tuesday for Benjamins response.

Regards, 

Gert-Jan
