All,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Per Jodys suggestion below, I’m moving this thread about requesting a partnering agreement be be set up between OSGeo and GITA-SharedGeo. Not sure if this should be considered two different requests or just one. Both organizations are long time
supporters of OSGeo in their own right. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The desire to promote the OSGeo organization at the upcoming GITA conference (<a href="http://www.gitasw.org" class="">www.gitasw.org</a>) has inspired this request. There is also an upcoming SharedGeo sponsored conference (www.<a href="http://umgeocon.org/" class="">umgeocon.org/</a>)
that will be heavy on the OSGeo influcene in it’s presentations. Both of these events would benefit as well as OSGeo. There will also be more OSGeo influenced events in the future.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What’s the process moving forward for setting up a partnering/sharing agreement? This will make future advocacy of OSGeo much more streamlined in the future for GITA and SharedGeo</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks</div>

<p class="">I like Jody's idea of a news item. I suggest draft it up a joint OSGeo-Live/GITA press release at:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OS<wbr class="">GeoLive#Press_Releases</a></p>
<p class="">You could add a quote from GITA. Get a quote from one of the <big title> people at OSGeo Live to add legitimacy.</p>
<p class="">"Angelos Tzotsos, chair of OSGeo Live and vice president of the OSGeo Foundation said ..." (assuming ok with Angelos)</p>
<p class="">The press release can include an endorsement of the speaker's involvement with OSGeo-Live as an authoritative contributor.<br class="">
