[FOSS4G-Oceania] FOSS4G & Position magazine

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi folks,

I've just chatted with Jon Tkach, National Sales Manager at Position 
Magazine and Spatial Source.

We discussed setting up a mutually beneficial relationship between 
FOSS4G and Spatial Source which could possibly include:

1. Spatial Source / Position Magazine run stories about FOSS4G. (FOSS4G 
team would need to provide some compelling stories which would typically 
link to milestones such as "call for papers", "speakers announced", etc.)

2. Spatial Source emails go out on Wednesday, so if we want to have our 
"call for papers announcement" included in this week's email, we should 
have it to Dan Bishton (Spatial Source editor) by first thing tomorrow.

3. Position Magazine could potentially be provided to each delegate in a 
show bag (if we have one) or maybe on our "show goodies" table that we 
have been talking about.

4. Spatial Source/Position Magazine could be mentioned as a media 
partner on the FOSS4G website. (We had this arrangement in place at 
FOSS4G 2009)

5. One of the FOSS4G emails to delegates could potentially include 
Spatial Source marketing message, such as "If you want to get a 
subscription to Position Magazine use the code xxx to get a discount".

Jon, was there anything else you wanted to add?
