[geojquery] GeoJQuery posterpresentation at FOSS4G2010 in Barcelona

[Christian Wygoda]

Morning,

a first shot at a poster from this morning's train ride can be found at
http://wygoda.net/~c/bucket/gjq/geojquery_poster.odp
Feel free to comment, fix, or trash it... I have some spare time later
tonight to change anything desired.

Cheers,
  C
