[Sotm-asia] Where will it be?

Thu Aug 29 03:37:56 UTC 2013

Hi all:

I agree, Alex is very active.
SotM Asia in Indonesia is pragmatic in this year.
And also, SotM Track in FOSS4G Asia too.

In addition, good news for us.
Already, I have some sponsars of StoM Asia.
(Not so much, but some Japanese companies are kindly supporter for OSM.)

Regards,

from Taichi
