Good suggestion to append Michael. I didn't mean to derail the voting
process.

I tried to raise this on IRC, but no one was home.
So, before anyone starts voting and things get confusing, I'd like to
make a motion that we go ahead and do the pick-10 process as already
started by Daniel, and then just append "The Open Source Geospatial
Foundation" to the resulting list.(I haven't reviewed the (long!) list of contenders yet, but I'm
already
leaning towards Peter's idea.)

Subject: Re: RE: [VisCom] OSGeo tag line pre-selctionJust so no one is surprised, VisCom made a decision last week to use
"The Open Source Geospatial Foundation" as an interimtagline in order
to meet production deadlines for banners and signage at Where 2.0.
And after looking at the list of entries and thinking about it, I
thinkit would make a simple but sensible permanent tagline.Interesting idea Peter.
I was hoping that a tagline could help add some 'catchy-ness'
and 'dynamic' to the name of the foundation. I find that the
name is so purely descriptive of the present state, that it
does not lend much to forward vision or enthusiasm. But I'm
willing to accept that this could just be meI could live with your suggestion though, as I can see that
having the name, the domain name and a different slogan can
make things more confusing. In essence, "OSGeo" would become
the name and "The Open Source Geospatial Foundation" would be
the tagline. Makes sense to me. Looking forward to seeing
how it comes out.Tyler
