[geojquery] GeoJQuery posterpresentation at FOSS4G2010 in Barcelona

[Volker Mische]

Hi Christian,

thanks a lot for your effort. Here are my comments:

.map() can't be used as it is already defined by jQuery itself. Perhaps 
changing it to "geo"?

The get involved section should mention the FOSS4G code sprint.

Cheers,
   Volker
