Hey, we also need to figure out who is going to do what lightning talks for Where 2.0. I think we have 2-3 slots open, that we should get back to Nat on. How should we go about deciding who gets to speak? It may just line up fine, with the right number of people going who could appropriately present on projects. But what do we do if more people want to speak? How do we go about figuring out who should speak?

I would contact each of the project committee chairs and ask if:
1) they are planning to make it to the conference
2) if they would like to present about their topic
Then go from there.
Semi-related... we need to iron out the conference pass issue. If they speak,
i.e. in a lightning talk, will O'Reilly provide free passes? It sounded like
Nat could make that happen. Otherwise, we need to know from Autodesk how
many passes we could make available for these purposes (assuming some of them
will actually be used by Autodesk). Then we could provide the rest for those
who could come and help man the booth, BOF, etc.
Any ideas on this?

Ok, I'll send an email soon.

I'd be kind of surprised if they didn't get free passes for talking. I feel like that's par for the course if you talk at a conference?

We also can just try to talk Nat in to giving passes to people who contribute, to give a few extra to the OSGeo community, as we're the people that attendees at these kinds of things are psyched to meet

Would love to do a 5 minute lightning round on OSSIM/osgPlanet
