[Marketing] Re: Subject: [General Info] NYS GIS Conference Presentation

[Cameron Shorter]

Mickey,
We do have a 30 minute lightening presentation which covers the full 
stack of Geospatial Open Source Software in one set of slides and notes 
- which accompanies a very comprehensive "Live DVD" of ~ 50 Open Source 
GIS applications, http://live.osgeo.org.

The presentation is here:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/promo/trunk/en/presentation/

If this presentation is of interest, I expect we should be find someone 
locally to present this.
You will likely also be interested to hand out the LiveDVDs to delegates 
at the conference.

What do you think?
