[Marketing] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSCON and OSGeo

[percy]

Hi guys, I never had time to edit the Wiki, and just used a shared 
google spreadsheet to manage booth times.

Brian and I are mostly covering it, and he has done a lot to help make 
it a success, including printing out the brochures.

It would be nice to have a business card style layout that just has the 
osgeo.org url and a brief description.

That's all most people want...

Getting a fair amount of traffic at the booth, and some interest from 
the press. I'll keep you in the loop if anything serious happens.

I'll post some pictures to the wiki next week or so.
Cheers,
Percy
