[Live-demo] [Incubator] Oskari Incubation Application

[Kari Salovaara]

Hi,

for Your information, I've been in Oskari network group as OSGeo Finland
representative.
The group has listened advices and are keen to fulfill all obligations
needed to become a real OSGeo project.
There will be an Oskari  Day 6.4.2017, several presentations related to
Oskari.
I agree with Arnulf ideas.

Cheers,
Kari
