[geojquery] BOF @ FOSSGIS "GeoJQuery"

[Roald de Wit]

Hi Till et al,

Thanks for your invite. It's great to hear about the amount of support 
and enthousiasm for a jQuery + OL initiative! Last year at the OL BOF 
session at the FOSS4G in Sydney, the idea of having a jQuery alternative 
to Ext (in GeoExt) was mentioned. It was met with a positive response, 
but not much action resulted directly from it. I guess we were all 
caught up with other, more pressing needs at the time.

This year, as shown at the BOF at FOSSGIS, it looks that the time is 
right for a Geo-jQuery! :-) It got off to a good start and I look 
forward to contributing to GeoJQuery!

Cheers, Roald
