[Oceania-Board] Geocart potential sponsorship

[Alex Leith]

Hey Folks

What's the audience for the event? Do we have someone going who can present
on our behalf?

If we sponsor, then we should attend. I don't know much about the event.

I do think we should do a small sponsorship for Locate in May this year,
and I emailed the CEO to ask about an MOU with them too. Might handball
that to you now Eli...

Anyhow, Im tentative on support for Geocart. +0 from me!

Cheers,
