[Sotm-asia] Where will it be?

Thu Aug 29 03:45:49 UTC 2013

Busy mapping over here in Indonesia.

I appreciate that the conversation continues.

If the question is about experience, then conference attendees looking for
that crossover in Thailand will be rewarded for sure.

I am so happy to be part of this conversation, I really just hope everyone
can get what they need to make the map better.

Kate is right that there is a real need in Indonesia (that's how I read
what she said) and so I continue to plan.
