[intl-discuss] Re: FOSS4G looking for advice from local chapters

[Cameron Shorter]

Hello Indonesian chapter of OSGeo,

As mentioned below, we are very keen to involve countries within our 
region in OSGeo's international Free and Open Source Conference for 
Geospatial Software.

Many other chapters from our region have started getting involved, 
starting by translating the FOSS4G description into their local language.

I'm hopeful that people from Indonesia will join us too.
