Hi Venka, friends, Please consider giving Tim Sutton (QGIS) a special invite to the event; last night I noticed Kate Chapman trying to convince him to come[1]. He does great work, is super-nice, and would be a lot of fun there. He doesn't enjoy speaking, or being around large crowds, but he's a strong member of our community.

Thanks Jeff, I will try to contact Tim. Have been trying for some years now to get him to visit Asia. Hope you too will be able to make it to FOSS4G-Asia 2014.

Hi Venka, I think Tim is returning home from Indonesia today. In regards to me, I guess I am the same as everyone else, trying to find funding for the trip. Prices for flights will start to increase fast when the calendar changes to October. If I can be honest, this would be a heartbreaking event to miss. Short answer: I hope so too. -jeff On 2014-09-30 1:57 PM, Venkatesh Raghavan wrote: > Thanks Jeff, > > I will try to contact Tim.
