[Incubator] motion: Portable GIS as an OSGeo community project

[Jo Cook]

Hi All,

Since there have been a few questions about what Portable GIS is, in
comparison to OSGeo4W and OSGeo Live, I thought it might be worth me
posting a link to this talk:
https://archaeogeek.github.io/agi-cymru-portablegis a colleague of mine
delivered it on my behalf recently. It's just a lighthearted introduction
to it, but might answer some of the questions people have. I completely
forgot about it, or I would have posted it sooner!

Thanks

Jo
