<pre wrap="">Just joining in to let you know that at recent events I've visited these
USB drives were not given away for free but instead sold for a few Euros.
This makes it possible for everyone interested to get a drive while at the
same time avoiding unnecessary waste (both money and electronics) because -
let's face it - most people who get one for free will not use it.</pre>

I agree with that. USB sticks (with OSGeo Logo and other sponsors
who<br>
would like to fund for the device) could be sold (to cover the cost
of the device)<br>
and DVD's could be distributed for free.<br>

<pre wrap="">Sounds like an amazing event, marketing committee should have a budget to
work against shortly (it is an agenda topic for this week and you can see
the budget

on the wiki ).
Cameron is involved with both marketing committee and OSGeo live and
should be able to assist.

<pre wrap="">All,
I haven’t heard anything back on the following request from anyone
(other than Jody commenting about where this should be sent . . .).
So trying again . . .
--------------------
All,
First, let me know if this is the wrong list to request from.
We’re holding a regional Geo conference and would like to include a
OSGeo-Live thumb drive in each attendees goody bag. So, please consider
this an official request for funding of OSGeo Live Thumb Drives for the
event.
This is a multi- discipline, multi-state event for all things Geo. 60
confirmed presenters. This will be a highly knowledgable audience and
because of the varied subject matter it will be an excellent venue to get
the word out to new folks about OSGeo and it’s mission, via the OSGeo Live
project. More info about the event can be seen here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.umgeocon.org">www.umgeocon.org</a>
We’ve planned for 350 attendees. We can make our own thumb drives,
and/or pay to have them made ourselves. We’ve handed these out in the past
and will also include a getting started cheat sheet for each user to get
them going with the least amount of effort.
I haven’t checked lately for the going rate on these. Local suppliers
are advertising ~$5 each for an 8GB USB3.0 blank drive.
Request is for $2000 ($1750 for Drives, $250 for copying the OSGeo Live
suite to each).
Related, my submission of the OSGeo Live presentation has been accepted
at the event, and there will also be a (free) GeoMOOSE workshop.
