    <p>Everyone that sponsors gets their name yelled out at any
      appropriate breaks during the presentation. I will even devote ONE
      WHOLE SLIDE to osgeo.us (maybe even 2 - I've got to work on my
      opener). <br>
    </p>
    <p>That's awesome and I look froward to your vote of "no confidence"
      or "great confidence"...or some confidence and some fear but more
      confidence than fear. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Either way I'll make a giant OSGEO.us slide because we need the
      advertisement. We should make a OSGEO newsletter (no I'm not
      vounteering). <br>

            from the University but we have some parking and food
            requirements. I'm charging (or asking) or a $10 donation to
            help - BUT - in the interest of "I want everyone here" some
            aren't paying and some are paying more. Last years total
            cost was ~$700 and I think I have at least $300 covered - so
            a $500 donation should completely cover it. There is a
