[VisCom] OSGeo Flyer for Where 2.0 - review by Friday noon PST

[Peter Moran]

Good stuff mpg. My two bits:

On 3, it sounds like the code is coming from the libraries, and it
doesn't say what kind of resources.  How about:

 [3] Our projects represent the highest quality of open, shared
geospatial
resources -- from low-level source code libraries to high-level server
software, and content from map data to educational curriculum.

On 5, I like the "places" idea, but think there's a temporal issue.
They can't go with us until after they join.

[5] Join us at www.osgeo.org.  Together, we'll go places.

Peter

I'm liking that.  I like the idea of [5], but I think the last part of
it is a registered trademark by several other folks.  Go, Michael, go -
you can come up with a better one.   Wish we had that inspiring tagline
ready to go.

Maybe the Borg has a motto we can borrow: Assimilate, The Universe Is
Ours... (or maybe just Resistance Is Futile) - ;)
