[Talk-GB] Fwd: CFP - SECOND OPEN SOURCE GIS UK CONFERENCE - OSGIS 2010

[Tim Waters]

FYI,

Think that OSM should be represented - last year, although the project
was mentioned a few times, there was nothing explicit about it at all.
Looks like all the workshops have been already planned though it may
be work asking if anyone up for it.

Any takers?
