OSGeo-live may let people think that all the software inside is part of the OSGeo projects. FOSS4G-live is more correct and clear in this sense. Regarding the name of the conference i have already expressed my view (unfortunately not considered): the important is to define rules that guarantees equity, openess, transparence and that clerly says that foss4g is the OSGeo AGM.

Creating a marketing message is all about minimising words used, because "less words get read more". When explaining FOSS4G to people outside our community you need to use: "international conference for Free and Open Source Software for GeoSpatial (FOSS4G), presented by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo)." vs "international Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) conference" This is a good question to put to the charter members for a vote at some point.

But there are people out there in geospatial who don't know either.
