<BR>
Folks,<BR>
<BR>
We have often asked ourselves what are we doing for our projects. Recently<BR>
Cameron Shorter mentioned in passing that MapBuilder downloads have doubled<BR>
since joining OSGeo, and the project attributes this to the additional<BR>
publicity (and credibility?) from being involved in OSGeo.<BR>
<BR>
I don't know that other projects are necessarily seeing the same degree of<BR>
"bump" from involvement in OSGeo, but I think it indicates a noteworthy<BR>
benefit of involvement.<BR>
