[Sotm-asia] Welcome and Help Plan SotM Asia 2013!

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Kate,

Probably nobody has posted this on this list yet or I missed it:
OSMF Japan registered sotm.asia and stateofthemap.asia, so the domains can
be used now.

I don't know about any planned FOSS4G event in Asia yet, but in 2012 there
were several ones in the end of the year.
I think November or beginning of December might be a good time, because
flights are in general cheaper around that time.
Probably next week I will meet with Venkatesh Raghavan and he might know
better about any planned events. Or maybe someone else on this list knows
already.

Daniel
