[Marketing] OSCon 2017 booth discussion

[Jody Garnett]

Hi David,

Guido recently got OSGeo accepted into the OSCon event in Austin - we had a
deadline today to get the forms in (now done).

You have already helped, in that your email provides a bit more of an idea
of what to expect.

It looks like we may have an additional ticket (if we can find another
volunteer) - your name was mentioned as being experienced with these
events. It is a bit of a hike for portland so I am not sure if you are
interested.
