[Marketing] Latinoware 2012

[Jody Garnett]

Good morning:

I have been quite on this list for a while (focusing on the incubation committee for a bit). I have an upcoming speaking engagement[1], as an OSGeo advocate and thought I would check in with the marketing committee.

Keynote
- Main point is the value joining a foundation can provide a project
- Second point is how much fun spatial data can be to work with
- Perspective of OSGeo Foundation and Incubation, with a bit on Eclipse Foundation and LocationTech
- I will have to create a fair bit of the information on incubation
- I would like to draw on previous presentations in describing the foundation (any suggestions?)
- While I am a bit freaked given the other keynotes present[2] I am sure I will do fine.

OSGeo projects
- Going to go from the OSGeo Live Presentation
- Use the full list to introduce categories of spatial software
- Only provide details on the OSGeo projects
- This presentations is *always* too long and not engaging so suggestions are welcome

GeoServer / GeoTools 
- Apparently GeoServer is really popular in Brasil, geoserver-devel is helpfully feeding me material
- A bit of GeoTools to cover the 8.0 release

The good news is that costs covered. If the marketing committee has any hands outs, live dvds or so on they would need to be sent to me (or sent to the event site).
