[Board] [Marketing] OSGeo as Strategic Institutional Partner for GWF 2013

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm +1 on this motion based upon:
* No cost to OSGeo
* Branding for OSGeo

OSGeo-Board, I assume that these sort of requests for support 
forconferences should be handled by the marketing committee (or I'd also 
accept the conference committee)?

Megha,
Are you the right person to talk to about this conference? I'd be 
interested to hear if you have someone coordinating OSGeo activities and 
possibly coordinate with them.
