[Discuss] Open Source Conference / Perl Guru Coming

[Paul Ramsey]

LUGers,

I think I posted about this a while ago, but here's a reminder, since
we're coming up on the presentation deadline and registration rate rise
deadline:

   http://www.foss4g2007.org

FOSS4G 2007 is in Victoria this year, from Sept 24-27. The subject is
open source geospatial software and data, and the attendance is expected
to be from 600 to 800, with a large international component.

The keynoter at the opening plenary will be Damian Conway, of general
Perl fame, and specific speachifying excellence.

Non-geospatial open source people on this list might find this an
interesting introduction to geospatial. If you are building hacks and
mashups around Google Maps or Earth, the kinds of tools FOSS4G folks
work with are an excellent force multiplier, and can help you avoid
reinventing wheels.

Thanks,

P.
