[Oceania-Board] FOSS4G 2025 Auckland Letter of Intent

[John Bryant]

So, for now, given the short time frame, is it enough for OSGeo Oceania to
say "We think this sounds like a good concept, and may or may not be
directly involved"?

I ask because if a deeper commitment is implied, we have work to do to
understand the implications. If not, it seems like a simpler discussion.

Cheers
John
