[Qgis-psc] Geospatial World Forum in Amsterdam

[Emma Hain]

I have often thought this was a good idea, however, the cost is a lot,
unless you can get a discounted price.

An option could be for OSGeo to have a booth and then the representatives
from the respective software could man it.

Sometimes the option may be cheaper to sponsor a social event.

If a national government wanted to encourage the use of FOSS4G, perhaps
they could help with a grant?

Kind regards
Em
