Tyler, this is a very good marketing email.<br>
<br>
It has the core elements of "what is in it for me", and then "easy steps to follow" to achieve the goal.<br>
<br>
foss4g2010, I suggest adding it to your press release wiki. It will be the sort of email future conferences will want to copy and repeat.<br>

Hi all, I'm emailing you as I have you listed a project contact for one<br>
or more of the OSGeo projects. Please let me know if I should change this.<br>
<br>
I recently learned that much of the traffic that goes to the FOSS4G<br>
conference website comes directly from links from OSGeo project<br>
websites. This is great news! It means your users or visitors to your<br>
sites find out about FOSS4G and potentially attend to learn more about<br>
your projects.<br>
<br>
A couple of us did a quick survey of all the front pages of project<br>
websites and saw that many (~50%) don't have any pointer, link, or<br>
banner pointing to FOSS4G. So I thought I'd write and encourage you to<br>
add this banner [1] pointing to this url [2] to your site front page.<br>
Have no doubt, this can really help FOSS4G attract the very users you<br>
want to reach out to. More logo options for FOSS4G are here [3], though<br>
we recommend the one with the full date of the event.<br>
<br>
We weren't looking for OSGeo specific logos, but if you do not already<br>
have one, I hope I can also encourage you to make your association with<br>
OSGeo clear by including a logo such as this [4].<br>
<br>
Hope that helps, but if you need a hand getting a better graphic or have<br>
any questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm here to help!<br>
