Having GRASS represented by Markus' keynote talk at the OSGeo '05
conference really helped raise exposure and remind more people it is
still moving along nicely :)

I especially look forward to hearing your ideas.  If you have any
comments about my list of ideas, I'd love to hear it:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/community/foundation/background

I am very excited about having so many GFOSS projects represented in the
same room together - it shows a real willingness to collaborate at some
level.

Just to follow up on Markus' comment - the foundation is definitely NOT
going to be the MapServer Foundation any longer.  The name will be
changed and the focus will no longer be mainly on MapServer - they will
remain at the table, but more as an equal player with others.  So now is
the chance for GRASS :)
