[Marketing] Suggestions: OSGeo Marketing

Tue Nov 6 12:32:22 PST 2018

hey all

just chiming in to say ‘fantastic stuff’! - well done. I second Jody re.
address - just put whatever is the official address for Linkedin; and
promote foss4g events by posting about them a bunch.

Using wordpress / jetpack, I can post stuff automagically to linkedin - is
that something OSGeo would consider (for example, news items on the OSGeo
blog get pushed to Linkedin)?

Cheers

Adam
