[OSGeo-Discuss] Branding & Marketing Project is *kicked off*!

[Jody Garnett]

Just asking for a recommendation Maria - I know you are busy doing UN and
Board.

Is there someone in the geoforall community who could take part? Europe
preferred, but as with everything passion is more important than timezone.
Looks like meetings are each Wednesday, and we could ask Jeffrey which
weeks input would be needed.
