[Geo4All] [OSGeo-Discuss] An update on the FOSS4G 2017 Boston Academic Track Proceedings readership

[Charlie Schweik]

Thanks Jeff.

I should have given a BIG shout-out once again to all the people who
participated in the reviews of the 2017 FOSS4G Academic proceedings as well
as the authors themselves!  (Incidentally, Scholarworks tracks individual
paper downloads as well.)

The curious can see the reviewers here:

I know you'd agree. We have a terrific, supportive (and growing!) community.

Cheers,
Charlie
