[Live-demo] [foss4g2014] OSGeo LIVE at foss4g

[Cameron Shorter]

Brian, Alex, Angelos,
Between you, can you please put together a proposal that we can put to 
the foss4g organising committee re an OSGeo-Live presentation.

Brian, I understand you would be ok to anchor the presentation, possibly 
with some other osgeolive contributors helping? Is anyone who has seen 
Brian speak able to vouch for how compelling he is as a speaker that we 
can forward on?

Alex, I understand you have a presentation which covers some of the 
details about the project, can you please help to ensure there is no 
overlap, or maybe use your presentation as the master presentation.

Is there anyone who saw the presentation at foss4g-cee who is able to 
provide feedback? Was it a compelling presentation? How so?

Note, there is an abstract to draw upon here:
