Hi James,
To date, http://live.osgeo.org is a reflection of the docs in the latest 
OSGeo-Live release, so we would hope to have all logos available at the 
time of the distribution.

Angelos,
I agree, we should add a link to the international FOSS4G on our website.
But I think we can do better than that.
I think that we could also promote regional OSGeo/FOSS4G conferences 
which feature OSGeo-Live too.

My question is, what criteria should we use for selecting events to 
promote from OSGeo-Live. Here are candidates from:
