<p class="MsoNormal">Hope that OSGEO applies their 'marketing budget' so that that future might happen.<br>
<br>
Best assurance for that is to maximize our students intent to deliver OS ^results^ with OS tools.<br>
<br>
The measure of the future we will have is in how well we both educate and challenge our children.<br>
<br>
If we only worshipped our children for the gods they are, we would all be in heaven today.<br>

How much are those stickers worth on eBay anyway? Less than the postage I imagine.<br>

Hi Madi, Anne, thanks for promoting OSGeo! I think also Astrid has some cool OSGeo stickers (the 'cube' one). We can also reimburse the costs to ship them to you, as part of the marketing budget. Thank you again!<br>
