[OSGeo-Discuss] R: website/rebranding april update

[Jody Garnett]

Okay I have an idea that I may regret sharing - because I am not enough of
a cartographer to make it happen.

What if we went for a line work map (no fills or very saturated fills) and
people could zoom into an appropriate area for their biz card or
presentation subject matter? We would need a consistent palette to go well
with the logo and general branding - but I love the metaphor of every
member, local chapter, event having their own location driven background.
