[Marketing] Re: OSGeo at Where 2.0?

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo Marketing,

As noted below, Where 2.0 have approached us to determine if we would 
like to be a "Community Partner" in return for marketing.

Any comments on this proposal?

Partner for Where 2.0 this year? As a Community Partner, we would list 
you on our website, extend a discount to your org, give you a free pass 
to give away in a contest/raffle and give you booth space in the exhibit 
hall. All we ask in return is that you help us promote Where 2.0 via 
your website, newsletter and any other means you think is appropriate. 
Is that something you'd be interested in?

Thanks!
Allison
