[Indonesia] Re: FOSS4G looking for advice from local chapters

[Cameron Shorter]

Hello Adhibroto,
It is very nice to meet you and to hear about collaboration between our 
countries.

We are very keen to share the benefits of FOSS4G's local presence within 
our region with our close neighbors like Indonesia, and as such we are 
planning a track of Asia/Pacific specific presentations, and expect to 
see regional participants network with each other in "Birds of a 
Feather" sessions.

Your help with translation, and spreading this message with your 
Indonesian community will be a great benefit.
Frans Thamura (CCed) has been coordinating prior translations, and I 
suggest coordinating with him. I'll add your name to our translators 
list. We give translators advance warning of upcoming press releases.

I can vouch for the value of Landgate's SLIP enabler framework. I've 
been involved with it at LISAsoft and they have put some excellent 
infrastructure in place - much of it is based upon Geospatial Open 
Source and Open Standards.
They plan to be presenting at FOSS4G, so FOSS4G would be a good place to 
catch up with them.
