-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cameron, this should be tied directly to the project overviews / info sheets [1] that are already available on the OSGeo website and "should" be maintained by the projcets themselves. Tyler has provided really nicely layouted templates to do just this. To me it does not make sense to make projects deliver several different version that need to be maintained and updated separately. It is hard enough to nudge, encourage and coerce folks to maintain one such artefact.
We would need to check what to do with projects that have so far not shown any interest / do not plan to get involved more closely with OSGeo (yet). But I guess that a more neutral layout should be easy to glean from what is there already. Jason, some time back we envisaged a project template with a free space in the lower right corner. At conferences this can be used for some neutral OSGeo info or business cards for folks appearing at an OSGeo booth. Companies providing support can use these templates to add their logo / stamp / business card in the lower right corner. Sponsorship prospectus; We (so far Tyler, Jeff and me) try improve our sponsorship prospectus and we came up with a related idea to provide these flyer / brochure / info sheets as readily printed out marketing material as an asset for OSGeo sponsors. They can use shiny "original" OSGeo material for marketing and add their brand to it with very little effort. This is especially interesting for smaller companies who in general do not care / spend little time on creating marketing material. This would be a real net added value for them and would mean little extra effort for OSGeo. Would that be a type of commercial hint / support that goes better with your concerns? Best regards, Arnulf.
