[OSGeo Oceania] [FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G Global: Call for Oceania Committee

[Tony Batistich]

Has anyone ever considered combining one of the Oceania, FOSS4G or SoTM
conferences with the cartography societies' conferences  in Australia or
New Zealand?    Or are they chalk and cheese?

I can see a crossover in interest and maybe one providing experiences for
the other.
