If you are interested let's approach the board, with the information you 
provided here, and set up a page for GITA (highlighting the good work, and  
open source advocacy) they do.

All,

Jody and Cameron,
Thank you for the assistance. Per your question: “Q: Does GITA have a partner 
relationship with OSGeo?”

GITA does not have an MOU or similar in place with OSGeo.  However,


  *   GITA ran FOSS4G in Denver,
  *   SharedGeo runs all of GITA’s operations (we are the entity behind the 
curtain),
  *   SharedGeo was the operational hosting organization for FOSS4G-NA 
Minneapolis, and
  *   As you are probably aware, SharedGeo is one of the prime supporters of 
the OSGeo GeoMoose project, last coordinating a $60,000 upgrade which resulted 
in GeoMoose 3.0.


So going forward I hope you will think of the GITA-SharedGeo team as an 
unsigned, but very proactive partner.  We would very much like to officially 
promote OSGeo Live at the GITA Phoenix Conference: 
www.gitasw.org.  As such, the presentation by Bob, and 
the USNG track which follow will be open to the public for free.

Cheers,
Steve

I like Jody's idea of a news item. I suggest draft it up a joint 
OSGeo-Live/GITA press release at: 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive#Press_Releases

You could add a quote from GITA. Get a quote from one of the  people 
at OSGeo Live to add legitimacy.

"Angelos Tzotsos, chair of OSGeo Live and vice president of the OSGeo 
Foundation said ..." (assuming ok with Angelos)

The press release can include an endorsement of the speaker's involvement with 
OSGeo-Live as an authoritative contributor.
