[VisCom] sanity check a lightning talk abstract?

[Tyler Mitchell]

Just for background... We have three great talks lined up for our 45  
minute speakers session at OSCON:
-Jo's talk as mentioned below
-Aaron Racicot's 'mash-up of 5 different OSGeo projects'
-Mark Lucas re: OSSIM

Should be a great session.

Re: your question Jo.. I particularly like the "new kind of software  
foundation" part of the abstract.  As many of you know already, I see  
OSGeo as blazing a path not just for geospatial software but also for  
the broader open source context; we are doing things no one else has  
done in open source.  Because this conference is focused on open  
source geek stuff, I'd love to see that perspective brought into it  
somehow.

More later,
Tyler
