Hi Cameron,
This was certainly brought up at the Board meeting in Seattle last month. I will see if I can get that discussion going again at least so we move forward with some of the ideas we kicked around then (but ran out of time to fully discuss).
I would like to help get the marketing committee moving again- but to a certain extent I’m relying on the goodwill of my boss with all the OSGeo stuff I’m already doing- I will help where I can though!

Jo,
In previous years, there has been a marketing budget, and Arnulf has mentioned the desire from the board to make use of such a budget.
However, the marketing committee has gone into hibernation since Tyler left, with the rest of the committee spending most of our time on OSGeoLive.
In particular, in the past there has been a big gap between expectations individual conference attendees and available budget (when multiplied across all spatial conferences around the world).
Maybe you could be tempted to get involved in the marketing committee and help re-vitalise it?

Hi Cameron,
That’s fantastic- thanks. I’m intrigued by the mention of funding for a marketing pack. I assume I need to formally approach the committee to ask about this? Is it done on a conference by conference basis or for a local chapter/organising committee?
Thanks
Jo

Jo,
I think this is the wiki page you are looking for:

Dear All,
OSGeo:UK have a stand at an event in Lancaster (UK) in April and I need to start getting some marketing materials together. I know about the marketing folder on svn, but I’m a little uncertain as to exactly which materials would be good to have (eg what files I need to download). I think it would be useful for others in a similar position as well, to have a “recipe” for a good spread of materials. If this is already hidden on the wiki somewhere, feel free to point me at the right page…
BTW, I already have a popup banner, so I’m thinking more about leaflets, posters, those little business cards etc. I don’t suppose we have any advertising materials for Beijing yet, do we? I suspect my event might be a little too late to advertise FOSS4G-NA unfortunately.
Thanks
Jo
