<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I agree Frank, and it's not
too late for 2008 as people are still motivating and managers are still making
decisions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I've had several calls from
locals, mainly in government employ, asking how they can motivate. After several
verbal responses, I packaged some in an email to our local list. They don't
capture all the reasons - if you feel inspired to improve on this and make it
more generic I've posted it to the wiki:</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Folks,<BR><BR>Someone just asked if there was a promotional
booklet that they could print<BR>out to show their boss to help justify
attending FOSS4G. I had a similar<BR>request last year as well. I'd
suggest such a document be prepared for future<BR>conferences and made fairly
visible on the main conference page.<BR><BR>It might be as little as a double
sided page, but it should be professional<BR>looking, and chock full of
justification for attending the conference.<BR>Something folks could show to
managers, but also something we could offer as<BR>a hand out at OSGeo booths at
other events.<BR><BR>Best
regards,<BR>--<BR>---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------<BR>I
