Thanks for the feedback and suggestions, here's the site map with upright

I had a quick go at incorporating the national flags into the OSGeo swoosh.
Note that there's no Northern Ireland flag in this but a) we don't have a
location in NI and b) there is no official flag for Northern Ireland - the
Ulster Banner and the St Patrick's Saltire are sometimes used but there's
only four spaces in the swoosh...
