[Marketing] Re: OSGeo at Where 2.0?

[Alex Mandel]

Wow, if they are offering all that and it's not going to cost us
anything monetarily that's a really good deal. We have had
representation at Where 2.0 the last couple of years (last year was a
bit of a fiasco due to schedule change and last minute issues).

Would we need the Board to approve?

Thanks,
Alex
