<p>Good point Barry - last year we decided no central swag because
a) logistics of getting stuff to 8 venues is hard b) environmental
reasons. <br>
</p>
<p>T-shirts could be a nice thing for speakers. Any one any idea how
much this would be?<br>
</p>
<p>Let's chat about this at the next meeting.<br>
</p>
<p>We did do some stickers - and I suggest we do this again this
year. <br>
</p>
<p>I have also done some OSGeo:UK stickers which we can do some more
of. <br>
</p>
<p>Astrid (OSGeo Marketing) was going to send me a package of stuff
for GISRUK in April which got stuck in Germany so never arrived
(Brexit etc.) I will ask her about this. <br>
</p>
<p>Also if any UK people are at Kosovo FOSS4G this year, and want to
bring back bits for distribution then please do. Astrid
(Marketing) may approach you with this. <br>
</p>
<p>Of note, we have said sponsors can bring and distribute their own
swag but they need to send people to do this. We are not offering
Swag Distribution As A Service!!</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br>
Nick.<br>

All,<br>
<br>
Following on from yesterdays discussion in the meeting about
free <br>
tickets for speakers, there was a extensive discussion in the
WhatsApp <br>
group.<br>
<br>
In summary, the logistics of making sure speakers have free
tickets <br>
available after we confirm whether they are speaking (by which
time some <br>
venues may have sold out) is a bit too complex to justify.<br>
<br>
Equally, a fee of £20 should not (in general) discourage
speakers form <br>
getting a ticket, and we have a range of discount codes that
people can <br>
ask for from a wide range of options listed on the site.<br>
<br>
Other comments welcome, but assuming there is no great dissent
here we <br>
plan to go live on Monday as per Ant's email.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Nick.<br>
