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

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.

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) - :wink:

My tech writer is on vacation today, ad planning on my part. Here's
what I came up with (with the suggestions of Tyler and Chris):

[1] The Open Source Geospatial Foundation is a not-for-profit
   organization dedicated to the collaborative development of
   technologies and data.

[2] As the leading promoter of such technologies, we provide
   financial, organizational and legal support to the open
   source geospatial community.

[3] Our projects represent the highest quality of open, shared
   resources -- Code from low-level libraries to high-level
   servers, Content from map data to educational curriculum.

[4] We are developers and executives, authors and educators,
   users and marketers.

[5] Join us at www.osgeo.org. Together, we're going places.

Okay, so #3 and #4 could still use some tweaking. And yeah, that last
sentence still sounds a little overblown. But hey, it's an *ad*,
right...?
