[Teachosm] National Geographic and Geography Awareness Week

Hi

Starting a new thread (rather than Oops :)

National Geographic is actually core to OSMGeoWeek, but it's not evident because we're still working on permission to use their branding on the site. The Geography Awareness Week team at NatGeo has been involved from the start of planning this, and especially with the main event mapping party at NatGeo on November 22, and promotion of the initiative.

Made a github issue to add more linkage. (And Eric thanks for the pull request fixing the front page title and head links ... deployed!)

Note, NatGeo itself doesn't claim ownership to Geography Awareness Week. Several other organizations are involved (like AAG) and they all are perfectly happy to see things grow and happen without their permission or credit. Of course, we are super excited to have NatGeo involved, so will certainly give credit and link up when that's ready!
