[OSGeoLive] Question to the two of you about OSGeo Live and presentations

[Jody Garnett]

Bob we do have a spot for unsigned but proactive partners - we call them

If you are interested let's approach the board, with the information you
provided here, and set up a page for GITA (highlighting the good work, and
 open source advocacy) they do.
