Logo Contest Update

[Jason Birch]

Hello!
 
To expand on Frank's great newsletter, it's time for an update on the Logo Contest.
 
The contest opened on Sunday March 12th, and to date we have received a few great entries.  The emphasis here is on FEW.  If you don't personally want to enter the contest, I need you to beg, cajole, or bribe your friends and not-so-friends to create some great art for our logo.  Remember, this logo is going to be the foundation of our visual identity for a long time to come; it has to be great!
 
As a reminder, the winner will receive these great benefits:

*	One copy of Autodesk MapGuide Studio, donated by Autodesk; 
*	$50 worth of swag featuring their logo (after the contest closes and we get printing details worked out); 
*	Their name and profile featured on an "About the Logo" page on the OSGeo.org site; 
*	Their name and profile in the official OSGeo brand manual.

Even if you're not into the software or the money, developing the logo for a vibrant nonprofit organisation will look great in your portfolio, especially after the implementation of our world domination plan.  The four runners-up will each receive a copy of Autodesk MapGuide Studio.  
 
The contest closes on April 12th, and the details are available here:

Warning:  this is not the last you will hear from me.  Get your entries in now so that you feel less guilty next time!
