[FOSS4G2016] Sharing marketing materials

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden]

I suppose you all have http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_PR  
bookmarked since its came into existance a few months ago.
(I'm sorry, the page name doesn't hold the word "marketing" in it. I  
added "marketing" to the page's description. Hope that helps to  
recognize it for everybody)

And as stated before: Anton Popov and I are fine-tuning the logo (in  
order to make sure it's readable on any backgroundcolor.
As soon as that's finished, we'll send the message out.

Meanwhile, every LOC-er is still invited to add sites, portal,  
magazines to the distribution list.


Rgrds,

GJ
