[Marketing] Re: Asia Geospatial Forum 2012

Venka, Bui Hong Son,

As you will note from below, OSGeo has been invited to present at the 
Asia Geospatial Forum.

As you are both from the region, I wonder whether you would be able to 
recommend a suitable person to present on behalf of OSGeo at this 
conference.  Possibly yourself if you will be attending?

We have a valuable presentation which can be a basis for a presentation 
here:
