[Foss4g2009] review period for public materials

[Daniel Ames]

Dear 2009 Folks,
In the olden days (2 years ago) the "g" in FOSS4g stood for "Geoinformatics"
not "Geospatial".  I see that the poster and postcard use "Geospatial". Was
that an executive decision of the OSGeo Board or some other entity? Just
curious... I don't have a preference, but consistency is nice.
