> We understand that OpenStreetMap has been involved with the Flourish Conference since last year. We'd be delighted if you could again be involved in our mini exposition this year. Since your company has been involved in bringing us the latest and greatest open source based products, we saw OpenStreetMap a great fit for Flourish 2010's mini expo, an event that will be part of Chicago's fourth annual opensource conference, hosted by UIC-ACM and the Chicago LUG. This conference, as you have well seen last year, will attract many enthusiasts, educators, professionals, students, and entrepeneurs in the Chicago community to get inspired and engaged within the larger sphere of the open source community. This is why we'd be really excited to see OpenStreetMap as a part of the mini-expo again, to disseminate its involvement with open source technologies.<br>

> Flourish is a bit earlier this year than in prior years. Flourish Conference 2010 will be held on Friday, March 19th and Saturday, March 20th. As usual, the event will be held at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition to the mini-expo, this year's Flourish will host excellent, open source related talks and workshops and a coding sprint.

> Reservations for a mini-expo table require a minimal sponsorship of $150. With that, you also get your company's logo displayed on nearly every page of the Flourish 2010 website. More generous sponsorships are rewarded with increased recognition. More information can be found on the sponsorship page of our website:<br>
