[Geodata] Fwd: FOSS4G Presentation Confirmation Required

[Cameron Shorter]

Any chance of getting a sneak preview of the state of GeoData before 
this weekend?
I'm compiling slides for a presentation titled "Open Standards, Open 
Source, Open Data".
What are the hot issues?

* License?
* Discovery including metadata?
* What data is available?
* Where can I find it?

I'm look for I, maybe 2 slides and ~ 5 mins material, so high level 
answers are sufficient.
