[Marketing] OSGeo projects logo symbol set needed

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello,

sorry. my last mail was too fast.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Do you know the project Mapskin from Nicolas Bozon? Mapskin is a TTF 
Collection and already contains some of our project logo. See next link 
and scroll to the bootom.

http://mapsk.in/

Maybe we can ask Nicolas to integrate all logos and ask about the costs.
