[OpenLayers-Dev] Intergeo 2007

[Emanuel Schütze]

Hi Erik,

there are 2 possibilities to present OL at the Intergeo in Leipzig:

1.) a booth with one or two computers to demonstrate some OL examples  
and talks with interested visitors. It's not a workshop!

2.) a 15 minutes presentation at the "OS Park Forum" - My idea: only  
a live demo what you can do with OL; few technical infos, because the  
Intergeo is a user exhibition (and it's not focused on developer).

I whould like to do both! And it's not a problem that you are all in  
Victoria. That doesn't matter. I will do it alone!
Yes, Erik, perhaps we can share some promotional videos or  
presentation slides of OL. That would be great! Let me know what you  
will present in Victoria. Thanks.

Regards,
Emanuel
