As such, the presentation by Bob, and the USNG track which follow will be open to the public for free.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></div>

<p class="">Bob, if ok with you, would you mind CCing this thread to live-demo <a class="m_6752538467264246588moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:live-demo@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">

<p class="">I like Jody's idea of a news item. I suggest draft it up a joint OSGeo-Live/GITA press release at:
<a class="m_6752538467264246588moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive#Press_Releases" target="_blank">
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr class="">OSGeoLive#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="">

<p class="">Cheers, Cameron<br class="">

<div class="">And the organizers want to play up the OSGeo angle a bit more, what’s the quickest way to get official recognition / permission to say that OSGeo is advocating for the presentation? The organizers want to send out a promotional blast in a few
days. If it makes any difference, we’re planning to also hand out preconfigured USBs at the event to each attendee.</div>
