[Marketing] OSGeo as Strategic Institutional Partner for GWF 2013

[Cameron Shorter]

Megha,
Nice to meet you.
I'm interested to know what you have organised so far, and suggest some 
things we can help you with, that we do for other projects.

Do you have someone from the OSGeo community yet who will coordinate 
things? If not I suggest we try to find someone.
Would you like to see OSGeo related presentation(s) and/or workshops? We 
have an excellent high level overview of the best geospatial open source 
software applications available.

We have a DVD of the best Open Source geospatial applications, 
preconfigured with sample data, ready to test. These DVD are often given 
to all delegates, or workshop attendees at conferences.
