Fwd: GEOSS-OGC Workshop, Goa

[Allan Doyle]

This could be a good place to accrue some Good Publicity for OSGeo...

In fact, I'd like to start a "Developing Country" or maybe "NGO"  
activity within OSGeo with an eye towards moving EOGEO and OSGeo  
closer together in some way.

I started a wiki page where we can think about this:
