[OSGeo-Discuss] Marketing Committee 2019 Goals and Support

[Guido Stein]

Thanks for the feedback Jody and Jonathan,

# Jody

Agreed on all of your points. I hope that this email outreach is a good
start for recruiting people to get interested in what the marketing folks
are up to. In a way I was hoping that if any projects, chapters, etc...
were interested in specific support that this would be a good time for them
to step forward.

Many many thanks for your work with the website.


# Jonathon

I wonder if the main link is something Jody can correct and/or is this
something that we can get the project folks interested in working on?

-Guido
