-The Promotion Committee will help produce input to be published by the [[Web Site Committee Motion|Web Site Committee]]. Publishing, controlling and adoption as stable documents is probably done by the latter.
+== Our Mission ==
-To spread word and build a strong recognition of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, foundation projects and the use of open source in geospatial applications in general every major event should be covered professionally. Smaller events and local conventions in many cases already get covered by associated members (friends of the foundation).

 == Press Releases ==
-A [[Press Release Process]] and [[Press Release Template]] have been developed.

-The following are addresses to send press releases:
+== Event Coordination ==
-* submit.news@consortiuminfo.org (see:  http://www.consortiuminfo.org/bulletins/ ).
-* [http://www.directionsmag.com/press.releases/?duty=Contribute DirectionsMag online]
-* [http://slashgeo.org/submit.pl Slashgeo online]
-* [http://www.geoplace.com/pressrelease/login.asp GeoPlace.com online]
-== Presentations ==
+The Marketing Committee is responsible the Foundation's presence trade shows, conferences, workshops, etc.  We can coordinate the booth, supply materials, arrange for speakers, etc.  Please see out [[Event Management]] page for more information.
-Presentations, promotion and dissemination of the OSGeo Foundation principles and ideas:
-* Give talks and [[Presentations]] at conferences
-* Hold workshops at conventions
-* [[Operate OSGeo Booth]] at exhibitions, conventions, user meetings
-=== Presentation Material ===
+Upcoming events are listed on the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Category:Events Category:Events] page by adding the Category to the corresponding page.
-A central document directory should feature [[Presentations]] about the OSGeo. Presentations should eventually be managed in the SVN repository of the Promotion and Visibility Project. Externals who need to get the FOSSGIS idea across can use material from this repository to build their own presentations. The material will be appropriately licensed with a free non-software license (e.g., Creative Commons licenses).
-At a later stage Posters, Give Aways, Flyers, live-CD, etc. can be added (see also [[Fundraising]]).
+== Open Issues ==
+We have access to a [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ trac] system as task-management tool but are curently not actively using it.
-=== Formats, Copyright, License of Documents ===
+* to be moved to trac:
-The preferred format would probably be HTML, making it easy to create links and make it searchable using the OSGeo (CN) infrastructure. (Initial discussion and collaborative editing can be done in the Wiki). Please refrain from creating PPTs, PDFs or other closed formats while OpenDocument format will be appropriate for slides. Presentations would preferably be licensed as GNU FDL, CC (or appropriate alternative) to ensure that they are freely available (please use the discussion page registered at the top of this page).
+** [[GenericOSGeoPresentation]]
-== Sticker, Caps, Promotion Stuff ==
+== [[Library]] ==
-We will want to think up some stuff to give away. This could be mugs, caps, t-shirts, etc. Probably will have to wait until the logo is done. Some slogan (slogans?) (all by [http://weblogs.java.net/blog/jive/archive/2006/02/_open_source_ge.html Jody Garnett]):
+It was planned to create an extensive library of presentations, white papers and other materials in the OSGeo Library at http://www.osgeo.org/library. Find more descriptions and links on the [[Library]] Page of this Wiki and get in contact through the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing Marketing Mailing List] if you need anything that you cannot find in the library.
