[OSGeo-Conf] OSGeo branding at FOSS4G

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi all,
This is an excellent point that is so easily forgotten! It seems so obvious for "us OSGeo folks" that there is an OSGeo booth and there is strong marketing / branding at the FOSS4G conferences. And still we've had a couple of times where the LOC and OSGeo had different expectations. 

Is this point also described in proposal guidelines? If not we indeed should describe OSGeo minimum requirements towards proposal writers
