They could fund or help each country chapter to create a kit that can be used to take to events to help OSGEO and its constituent projects. At the moment anyone wanting to represent OSGEO is left very much up to their own devices and even having all of these resources collated in the wiki would be useful so you can get them in one place.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Good point! I agree that the whole issue and particularly the brochures could use quite some love. Unfortunately, without an active marketing team, that probably won't happen anytime soon.</div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'm also more and more uncertain how worthwhile it is to produce print brochures. After all, anyone can just check the project website as easily. In my experience, brochures are collected, never read, and finally thrown away most of the time. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Live CDs or USB sticks have been floating around at quite a few events now. I'm not sure if it makes financial sense to ship them around the world or if they should be created locally. That would certainly be worth a discussion on the OSGeo lists.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Also the OSGEO web site looks and is really dated and same for the wiki….can’t they modernise it a bit (using a professional designer)? - it doesn’t look like the web site of a professional organisation. I would at least like to land on the front page as someone uninformed about OSGEO and see visually what this OSGEO thing is and see a gallery / slider / whatever of the outputs produced by their participating projects.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-size:small">The website is actually on the todo list.
