 * Possible screencast on OpenModeller - timlinux
 * OGR, PostGIS and KML - darkblue_b
 * OpenJump - Landon
 * QGIS/Grass/Spatialite - Alex

''I'd definitely like to make sure OpenLayers and QGis are represented well.. I feel like I would be a better rep for OpenLayers myself. Also thinking of an idea for "big picture" on OSGeo using the Wiki, and the mailing lists activity levels -Brian''
