[GRASS-PSC] Re: [OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G07 Banner Ads

[Markus Neteler]

Michael,

it was just about a banner ad for the upcoming FOSS4G conference.
We (the grass.itc.it site + mirrors) can again support it and put the
banner onto the principal page as we did for the FOSS4G2006 conference.
It was this banner:
http://grass.itc.it/images/foss4g_banner.gif

Something like this will be created for FOSS4G2007.
