[Marketing] Hello

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Guido,
Listing geospatial events is a good idea. I've seen a number of similar 
initiates start, but not stand the test of time.
Like any web page, the challenge is ensuring it remains continually up 
to date. This can be done by either having static content, or finding 
someone (or some people) willing to keep the content up to date.
It also helps to lots of people referencing the material, which in turn 
leads to attracting volunteers to keep the site up to date.
Warm regards, Cameron
