[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G "Themes"

[Cameron Shorter]

Jo,
At the start of foss4g2009 planning, I remember wondering the same 
question about setting a theme. We did pick a theme in the end, but I 
can't remember what it was. Our main marketing push was Open Source 
mixed with Open Standards, and Open Data. As you suggest, FOSS4G has a 
very strong draw already, and probably doesn't require a theme as well.
