[OSGeo-UK] Raster meeting

[Gareth Grewcock]

Hi - We (Lloyd's Register) would definitely be interested in a raster
processing focused event. We would be able to support with a talk on marine
raster processing if of interest and I should hopefully be able to
contribute some time in helping to organise too.

Cheers,
Gareth
