[OSGeo-Conf] Posters and Bronze sponsorship

[Daniel Ames]

The bronze sponsorship is a great idea.  Good thinking! Can the posters be
placed in and around the break area? Posters in a separate room are usually
useless at a conference, but if they are in the main snacking/break area,
then they can be great for continuing of  conversations during the breaks...
