Re questions about schedule, the OSGeo-Live schedule is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kO6zzmLFfprZGgp5x7Sjwi-EVN6NTGDR4KXvFVtNpR0/edit?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB#gid=0
You will notice that we try to list upcoming FOSS4G events which will be
using OSGeo-Live, along with a point of contact.
Please do add in any events we are missing.
Cheers, Cameron
