[Marketing] OSGeo event in Portugal

[Tim Bowden]

Jorge,

The artwork and iso for the Live DVD are both available on:
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/

The artwork is there as a jpg and pdf.  Alpha4 is the latest ISO.  We
don't yet have a versioning plan or any firm date on "version 1".  I'm
not even sure what we will call it when it does get there!

Regards,
Tim
