[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G07 Banner Ads

[Helena Mitasova]

Paul,

I am pretty sure that we can put the banner on the GRASS web site -  
we can post it there as soon
as you have it ready and then include notification about deadlines in  
the news and on mailing lists.
I can discuss this with PSC and get some official approval.
