[intl-discuss] Indonesia

[Cameron Shorter]

Geoff,
I really like your idea. The IGOS and RISTEK initiatives sound like they 
are just the sort of things that we want to discuss at the FOSS4G 
conference, and I'm hopeful that we can see some Indonesians making 
presentations about this.

I've CCed the Indonesian email list, who may have ideas on how to 
develop this idea further.
