[Marketing] FOSS4G Marketing and information for Press

[Michael P. Gerlek]

On a related note, I edit a column on behalf of OSGeo for GeoConnexions
magazine dedicated to Open Source topics.  If someone was interested in
trying to come up with a column of material to indirectly promote the
conference, I'd be happy to work with them on that (and adjust our
publication schedule as needed, too).
