[HOT] anyone joining the GIS for the UN in Geneva 2-5th April

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hi Robert,

Only taking the time to follow the link now that I am just back from a
very intense month in Haiti (at Saint Marc). Finding out, when trying to
request to attend, that :
"Registration is no longer allowed for this event."

I would have loved to meet you there, as well as other people who will
be there, (including Fred Moine, who will be a panelist in Breakout
session 2, according to the program, and who is one of the best
promoters and supporters of OSM in Haiti and elsewhere, himself from
within a UN agency, IOM).

Also, ESRI recently made a "very generous donation" to the OSM
Foundation (http://blog.osmfoundation.org/), so they should probably not
object at all to promoting OSM. OSMF could probably let you know who was
in contact with ESRI when this happened (and then, who at ESRI...).

There will probably be other opportunities.

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
