RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Media Sponsorship
+1 here too. I like the idea of providing an avenue for us to pitch articles, etc. I know that in principle anyone can submit a piece to most of the industry pubs, but in practice the editors tend to favor those they have a pre-existing relationship with. -mpg -Original Message- From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss- boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Seven (aka Arnulf) Sent: Friday, June 10, 2011 1:09 PM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Media Sponsorship On 06/09/2011 10:35 PM, Tyler Mitchell wrote: Hi everybody, I've been working on an idea to start a Media Sponsorship opportunity for OSGeo.
