[postgis] Proposal: PostGIS Symposium

[Timothy H. Keitt]

Paul,

I'm potentially interested although I expect logistics will be a problem 
as I start teaching in late January. I'm very keen on seeing a solid 
open source GIS solution. Unfortunately, I have little time to write 
code these days, but perhaps might be able to help with 
testing/packaging + funding ideas.

Cheers,
Tim
