[Marketing] Motion on choice of agency GetInteractive for Rebrand & Website Project

[Marc VLOEMANS]

Dear Marketing List,

Thanks to the unrelenting energy of the Marketing Committee en members of
the Board, I have the pleasureof asking you for approval of our choice of
agency to conduct the Rebranding and Website Project for OSGeo:
GetInteractive (for examples of their previous work see
www.getinteractive.nl)

I herewith ask you formally to approve the choice for GetInteractive as the
agency that will execute the Rebranding and Website Project as previously
described in the EoI and RFP. Please do so before Saturday 12.00 noon CET.
This allows the committee to draft the contract and collect Board signature
in order to have the agency start the project in time.

Some back ground on the process:
- we cast our Call for Expression of Interest as widely as our network and
channels allowed
- we received 4 serious EoI's, which all were invited to send in a proposal
- of these, 2 were shortlisted based on price and project scope
- GetInteractive was chosen as the winner, based on critical items such as:
pricing, experience with community-sites, quality of reference projects,
comprehensiveness of their proposals, user-friendliness and technical
specifications of proposed CMS, their experience with open source, realisme
of planning and efforts, demonstrated professionalism in the EoI/RFP
process and such.

We have 'happily' drawn upon Jeffrey's particular experience in the
CMS-field and he has volunteered to manage the project on our behalf.
Jody's eye for detail and process has kept us on track as the overall
planning needed to be met. Therefore  I feel we have achieved the best
value for our money and can safely enter the next stage in the project.

Again, I wish to thank all involved in a process that has been executed
meticulously but (thankfully) fast enough to have our revamped brand and
website in place well before FOSS4G2017 to immediately benefit from it.

Kind regards,

Marc Vloemans
