[Live-demo] OSGeo-Live 3 minute presentation

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Guido,

Brian has been an active contributor to OSGeo-Live and member of the 
Project Steering Committee from way back in the start of the project.

He has been a person who steps up tackles many of the less glamorous and 
less noticed tasks, such as testing and systems administration. He has 
also created much of the OSGeo-Live artwork. As such he has quite a deep 
understanding of the many applications on OSGeo-Live.

On a personal level he is passionate and not shy to share his opinions. 
As I rarely travel, I haven't seen Brian speak, but suspect his passion 
would make him a compelling presenter.

Hope that provides some context,

Cameron

>>         Something along the lines of:

>>         * OSGeo-Live USBs are available at the OSGeo booth

>>         * They are effectively a "foss4g conference in a box"

>>         * You can take the OSGeo-Live presentation back to your

>>         what you saw at foss4g
>>
>>         * It contains project overviews and quickstarts for 50 of the
>>         best OSGeo
>>         applications
>>
>>         * Find it online at http://live.osgeo.org
