[Marketing] Fwd: OSCON 2017 Nonprofit Exhibitor

Mon Mar 13 07:36:21 PDT 2017

Jody,

agreed on all your suggestions. Can you please help me figure out the best
next steps? Does someone on the Markting committee need to sign off on this
stuff? I am not sure what the protocol is exactly. We will need to get
OSGeo collateral there somehow.
