[mapserver-dev] FOSS4G MapServer Project Status Update

Mon Apr 15 14:33:15 PDT 2019

Hi all,

I invited those who may be attending/providing slides to the talk speaker's list. Feel free to associate yourselves or ignore the email request. 
I'll take care of getting the presentation ready if the talk is accepted, but appreciate any support provided, and feel it would be best to submit the talk as a collaborative PSC effort.

Seth
