[gdal-dev] Fwd: [Projects] please create a new project flyer for your project with the new branding till FOSS4G Boston

[Jeff McKenna]

Luca: I have taken Even's feedback and made some more text changes, and 
also added a hillshade DEM (of Frank's home area in Canada) created 
through GDAL 2.2.1 on my machine.  It creates a big SVG now, but 
you/designer can decide to keep that image or not.

PS. I created it using LibreOffice!
