Hi all, Here's a draft HTML email to go out in an AGI mailing list mailshot (by Claire), and also to be sent to sponsors (by Steven), with a suggestion that they might want to send it (or an amended version) to their customers/followers/whatever. Open to suggestions for improvements in content/design, but we should move quickly bearing in mind early bird deadlines.

The gifs are seriously ugly renderings. Look like they've been done using some dithered palette. Is the AGI stuck in 1995 web design? Oh, its a Word document saved as HTML.... Hmmm...
Antony Scott on May 14, 2013:
Ha! Actually me that’s stuck in 1995 web design – that’s when I learned to do it. Outlook not Word, but close. FOSS4G logo from style page, OSGeo from website... Happy for you to bring it into 2013 ☺

In an email I'd stick to plain text, with a link to the web site! There's PNG files in the zip but if I unzip it and look at the .htm file it loads the GIF versions. I don't know what is required for the AGI mailout...
Antony Scott on May 14, 2013:
The AGI use HTML, will send you an example. Claire asked for that, but for other purposes we can plain text it.
Barry Rowlingson on May 14, 2013:
yes, but how does Claire put it all together into a mailout? One lot of HTML might not work with another lot...
I've just sent something to you and her that might fit the bill.
