<br><br>GIS@development was/is very keen to be Media Partner<br>with OSGeo and could prominently show the FOSS4G<br>announcement of the top page of their website.<br>They need to be officially appointed as one of<br>the Media Partners. We did that in GIS-IDEAS 2006
<br>in Vietnam and had to put the logo on the conference<br>page page(<a href="http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/gisideas06/">wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/gisideas06/</a>).<br>I can talk to the folks at GIS@development.<br>
