Going to Japan

: crschmidt; October 16th, 2008

I'm going to Japan the first week in November. Specifically, I'll be leaving Oct 31st, arriving in Tokyo on Nov 1st. I'll be speaking at FOSS4G 2008: Tokyo on Nov 1st, staying in Tokyo until ~Nov 5th, then going to Osaka; from Osaka, I'll be speaking at FOSS4G 2008: Osaka, and then I'll be flying back to the states on Nov 10th. I'll be acting as a keynote speaker on OpenLayers, and may also be helping to lead a hands-on session/workshop.

I'm doing this thanks in large part to the support of Orkney (in conjunction with OSGeo Japan) and MetaCarta.

(I wonder if I can get people together for a "Chris wasn't eaten by a Japanese Octopus" party...)

Oh, crap. I thought I remembered it being the 11th? I see now that it's not :( Jess had expressed an interest in going before; let me check with her and see if maybe she'd want to go with you?

Jess says that if you don't have anyone else you'd rather go with, she'd love to go with you. So, feel free to find someone else if you prefer, but you've definitely got someone from the Schmidt family who'd go with you if you want :)
