[VisCom] FOSS4G Conference Summary

[Markus Neteler]

Hi Tyler,

thanks for writing it up!
Small addition: Let me suggest to add a note about the organizers:
http://www.foss4g2006.org/internalPage.py?pageId=12&confId=1
I guess especially:
- Camptocamp
- University of Lausanne
(the organizers in cc will know better)

thanks,
Markus

PS: Curiosity - since it is posted to your blog, will it already be
       boosted to feedburner and friends?
