Are any of you on the VisCom? One of you must have pushed for this.

I got a yes - we have apparently paid to sponsor an OSGeo booth there.
News to me, but there it is.

Is autodesk already planning on sponsoring or having a booth at the
event?

presence into one with OSGeo at the forefront, let's take advantage of
it.

Dear All,

I am forwarding a communication from Sanjay Gupta COE, GIS@Development
about the World Map Forum. Can follow-up if VisCom and board
agree.

Had earlier sent a mail about OSGeo Promotion at MapAsia 2006
(Map Asia 2006). Sanjay informs me that OSGeo brochures can be
distributed for free at MapAsia 2006 and some posters could
also be put up. Can find out where the brochures and posters
can be forwarded.

How do we follow-up on this.

Regards

Venka

I've added Map World Forum and Map Asia 2006 to the agenda for the
VisCom mtg. We can certainly make available all our brouchures, etc.
(I'm not sure about booth logistics, though. Perhaps the Autodesk
events person will attend...)

Kirsten will attend from Autodesk and provide and gives us the details about these events.

Dear VisCom,

600-700 participants are expected at
MapAsia 2006 (29 Aug-1 Sept). Heard that Autodesk
will be present. Need to decide if OSGeo wants to
have a booth at reduced rate. Organizer has offered
50% discount for OSGeo. Some Thai volunteers can
be contacted who can support and man the booth.
Can talk to OSGeo supporters in Thai to organize some
volunteers if necessary. I will not be able to
attend Map Asia 2006.

If OSGeo does not plan a booth at MapAsia 2006 but
would like to put up posters and distribute brochure,
we would need to make sure that material reaches
the organizers a few days before the conference.
The organizer has offered to put up some posters and
distribute the brochure for free. I think it is better
to have the brochures printed somewhere and delivered
to the conference organizers. Perhaps arrange to get it printed
in Thailand is better.

Map Asia URL: http://www.mapasia.org

Map World Forum (22-25 Jan 2007) will also have 700-800
participants. The Organizers has requested OSGeo to
organize a workshop at Map World Forum. I plan to attend
Map World Forum and maybe could organize some local
OSGeo supporters for volunteer work. If some others from
OSGeo plan to be present at Map World Forum, may be we could
plan for a workshop etc.
Map World Forum URL: http://www.mapworldforum.org/

Kind regards

Venka
