[Ica-osgeo-labs] OSGeo involvement in SDI-Open / ICC Brazil

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello GeoForAll,

I believe OSGeo should be prominent and active in the SDI Open / ICC 
event in Brazil in August [1].  As the OSGeo president I'd like to help 
with this, as well as be there in person (it would be great to talk 
again directly with George, Carl, and the community leaders); I've 
learned that these types of face to face meetings are invaluable.

Some questions:

- I'd like to see OSGeo listed as supporters on that page[1], can 
someone let me know what is required?

- I wonder if there are plans for an OSGeo booth at these events, or if 
not maybe I can help plan this.

- if others agree of this importance, I'd like to request funding for my 
travel to SDI-Open from the OSGeo Board.  I should likely move fast on 
this soon.
