[OSGeoLive] Introductions: OSGeoLive at FOSS4G Community Day

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi OSGeoLive folks,

So far, 12 people have signed up to work on the OSGeoLive project at our 
the FOSS4G Oceania Community day. I've just emailed them all with the 
following email.

Will any of you be available to hang out on IRC for a bit during the 
community day to help provide some mentoring and direction? I'll be 
doing my best to help out on the ground, but am aware of my limitations 
both technically and not being able to help everyone at once.

Also, if you have further suggestions for things to focus on feel free 
to suggest them. I'll be sending another email to everyone with more 
details in ~ 1 week.

We start at 9am in Melbourne:
