[Marketing] OSGeo slide in the OSGeo-Live presentation

[Cameron Shorter]

Jody,

I've provided revised wording to OSGeo-Live slide, derived from your text:

https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/299

I've trimmed the text a bit, while hopefully keeping all the meaning. 
The text below is repeating itself a bit.

Cheers Cameron
