[Live-demo] Fwd: [Projects] update your project's FOSS4G banner

[James Klassen]

This is how the GeoMoose project views announcing the next FOSS4G
conference.  As an OSGeo project we find it beneficial to both our project
and OSGeo to raise awareness of the conference and of the other OSGeo
projects.

OSGeo Live showcases quite a few of these projects and shows how both at a
community/project level and software level we work together to build a
greater ecosystem.

Personally, it makes sense to me for OSGeo Live as a project to support
raising awareness of the primary international conference devoted to the
projects and community that OSGeo Live showcases.
