Khanh,
Yes, we'd love a Vietnamese version.
We are very keen to attract a lot of delegates from the Asia/Pacific region.
I've noticed Vietnam has been developing a strong OSGeo community and
industry and it would be great to have Vietnam showcase this at FOSS4G.
I'm also keen to hear any suggestions on how we can make FOSS4G more
attractive to Asia.

Hi,
We would like to add a local language message for our key FOSS4G
selling page, which will be copied onto our web page, and locally
targeted media releases.
Please let us know if you can help (ideally within the upcoming
week). We are looking for one page of translation, which is to be
copied into subversion here:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/2009/documents/propaganda/What%20is%20FOSS4G%20en.doc
I've copied the text below as well:
FOSS4G 2009 – More than an international Geospatial Open Source
Conference
The conference for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial
(FOSS4G) will be held from 20-23 October, 2009 in Sydney,
Australia. _http://2009.foss4g.org <http://2009.foss4g.org/>_
Growing out of regional Open Source community meetings, the FOSS4G
conference has been reborn in recent years as a meeting place for
international geospatial experts to gather and discuss the
problems and opportunities of the day. With themes ranging from
the integration of Open Source with Proprietary systems to the
building of Spatial Data Infrastructures and application of Open
Geospatial Standards, the conference offers a unique opportunity
to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience available among
the Open Source developers, sponsors and geospatial professionals
of all persuasions.
Highlights from FOSS4G 2009 include:
*The Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP)*: FOSS4G will
launch the OGC's Climate Change Integration Plugfest (CCIP), which
demonstrates standards based interoperability between Open Source
and Proprietary geospatial applications. It consists of servers
with multiple virtual machines, each installed with geospatial
applications offering standards based web services. There will be
many opportunities to review SDI components, and talk directly to
vendors and implementers about the effectiveness of different
approaches and components.

*FOSS4G Live DVD*: Live DVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating
system and including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be
given to all delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their
computer and trial the software without installing or affecting
the existing system.

*Installfest*: The informal Installfest pre-dinner slot will give
delegates the opportunity to meet in a common area and install a
wide variety of FOSS software on their laptops, EEPC or any other
system they care to bring in. Community members will be on hand to
assist with any troubles and provide help and insight into the
software.
*Workshops and Tutorials*: Workshops and Tutorials allow
presenters to lead attendees through applications, integration
solutions, or other topics in an interactive environment.
*Presentations*: The meat of the conference is its presentations.
Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international
experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant
topics in the industry today. Expect to hear honest presentations
discussing weaknesses as well as strengths, like the famous Web
Map Server performance shootout.
*Birds of a Feather*: Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised
meetings between like minded groups. Some prominent community
initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.
*Code Sprint*: The weekend after FOSS4G is reserved for the
Hackers' Code Sprint. Hackers will be locked in a basement with
lots of bandwidth, pizzas and coke. (Well, maybe something better
than that, but we don't want to spoil the mystical hacker image).
