Looping OSGeo-Live back into the conversation with permission, (Jody
isn't subscribed to osgeo-live list).
Jody, happy to discuss how branding/logos etc can be updated (probably
for next release rather than this coming one).
However, it would be good to get the sponsors page up to date with this
release. If you can help with guiding what you see needs doing, that
would be appreciated.
Thanks Cameron
