[OTT_OSGEO] Fwd: GIS Day Speaker

[Jeff McKenna]

I've talked to Mike Sawada and they are interested in having an OSGeo 
booth at Ottawa U for GIS Day.  I have the necessary documentation if we 
want to proceed (I haven't committed yet).

Question: what kind of OSGeo promotional materials are available to use 
for a booth like this?

(Graham Cole contacted me and is interested in also working the booth, 
if we go ahead)
