UnConference Planning

GIS in Action Unconference – Tentatively this will be Monday the 29th of April, 2013. We'll plan it for a late start so travelers from CUGOS can join us. We'll roll that into the first day of the conference with a full day open source track to make the Monday-Tuesday an open source back to back option.
