[US] FOSS4G Knoxville - August 13th 2018

[Randal Hale]

Everyone that sponsors gets their name yelled out at any appropriate 
breaks during the presentation. I will even devote ONE WHOLE SLIDE to 
osgeo.us (maybe even 2 - I've got to work on my opener).

That's awesome and I look froward to your vote of "no confidence" or 
"great confidence"...or some confidence and some fear but more 
confidence than fear.

Either way I'll make a giant OSGEO.us slide because we need the 
advertisement. We should make a OSGEO newsletter (no I'm not vounteering).
