Personally, I couldn't care less which of the various notices I see, but I wouldn't want to see two notices about the same thing. 

I guess the CentralNotice has the advantage of being cross-project; we could always request a cross-project geonotice, but I'm sure the devs have more important things to do (like installing new software that breaks everything...).

I don't see how there can possibly be a problem with a Foundation staff member removing geonotices on the grounds that they are duplicated by CentralNotice.

I also think CentralNotice is being over-used a bit. While there are circumstances where I could see the chapter making use of it (so long as it didn't conflict with the annual fundraiser) I definitely wouldn't be keen on us using geolocated centralnotices to advertise meetups, etc...

Chris
