Subject: RE: [VisCom] Where 2.0 promotional opportunities

Thanks for comments and VisCom discussion on Where 2.0 activities.
Status of items and actions are below.  I think I got the proper name
associated with the right voice.

As the tagline "Your Open Source Compass" is being discussed and won't
be finalized until 5/19, we agreed to use the existing logo with
tagline: "The Open Source Geospatial Foundation" as an interim measure
in order to meet production deadlines of 5/12 (I'm seeing if there's any
flexibility here).

My other action item is to do press release template.

Cheers,

Peter
