[OSGeo-Discuss] New Semantic Mediawiki based OSGeo Member Map for the OSGeo Wiki

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Christian,

Regarding the experience icons, I believe they must live inside the 
"marketing" folder in the OSGeo SVN repository 
(https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/).  For example, I see some of 
those icons/logos such as "OSGeo_coder.svg" at 
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/logo/svg/
