Looks like it's $1000 and all we need to do is contact: Robert Andelman at 202-234-1450 ext. 21 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://aag.org/annualmeetings/2008/exhibitor.htm Once someone official from OSGeo takes care of that I think we can get some people to coordinate the other stuff, maybe some people from the Boston OSGeo group want to take some lead on this, and offer to be exhibitors at the table.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting
I'm putting the finishing touches on my abstract right now and was thinking about this topic again. I think there's plenty of time to still organize a session as long as we know of at least 4 papers to include in the session and someone wants to volunteer to chair the session. All we need to do is email Oscar Larson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] What he'll probably tell us to do is make sure that everyone who is part of the session(s) puts something like Open Source Geospatial in their keywords so it's easy to pick out and if we can pull together all the authors on our end and give them a list it probably wouldn't hurt. The key is to make sure we get abstracts in. Note, you can still make minor edits to your abstract after submission but the deadline is this Wednesday, Oct 31. On other conference planning items I suggest that someone who is authorized to speak for OSGeo contact Oscar Larson and sign us up for a booth. I'll be there to table and hopefully will bring some other new converts to FOSS with me from my university. What do you guys think about trying to organize a workshop on something like: Introduction to QGIS, or Introduction to GIS using QGIS(How to teach an intro course in GIS with QGIS) based on some of the course materials being uploaded by various members?
