<br>
FYI the 30$ is for wire fees which is the preferred method for international payments.<br>
<br>
For payments in USA and Canada which would the the case for PDX then I can mail a check and the cost is more in the range of 2$ (stamp + check costs).<br>

Great to see you pushing this forward. I see that you have a very tight<br>
timeline and at the moment, the OSGeo Marketing Committee hasn't<br>
resolved our issue of micro payments. (It costs OSGeo $30 to make a<br>
payment).<br>
<br>
We have an outstanding proposal that funding can be requested for $2 DVD<br>
for 10% of attendees, for legitimate events. (That would be $80 for<br>
consumables).<br>
More can be requested if you have matching funding. Do you have a<br>
co-sponsor?<br>

<br></div><div>The GIS In Action conference is co-sponsoring to the extent of a complimentary booth that would otherwise cost $450. We are also getting space the following day for the PDX-OSGeo unconference (I'm not exactly sure how that is being sponsored). The general sentiment was that branded USBs make a better impression than DVDs. If we count booth and unconference space sponsorship, then we could get to some number like $80+match-to-booth-and-unconference-space and spend it on USBs. I know that may be stretching the intended 'matching funding' definition. <br>

A legitimate event would be one which has been given an OSGeo Booth,<br>
and/or has someone presenting on OSGeo projects. Does this conference<br>
qualify?<br></blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We have a booth, PDX-OSGeo members will be presenting on a variety of projects covering at least QGIS, OpenLayers, and others. PDX-OSGeo members were also involved in the conference planning so that there is a substantial Open Source track. Also, there is an PDX-OSGeo unconference the following day. Yes, it qualifies. <br>

We could also pay up to $500 once off payment for non-consumables for a<br>
local chapter.<br>

The PDX-OSGeo chapter will have a booth at the upcoming (April<br>
30th-May 1) GIS In Action conference in Portland, Oregon (a $450<br>
in-kind contribution from the conference). We would like to distribute<br>
OSGeo Live on USBs and DVDs. There will be roughly 400 conference<br>
attendees.<br>
<br>
We already have a pop-up banner but need a table runner with OSGeo<br>
logo, OSGeo shirts, and OSGeo Live USBs and DVDs. We are also<br>
interested in printed material about OSGeo projects and OSGeo, that I<br>
think is more an issue of the files than the printing (since someone<br>
will probably provide printing).<br>
<br>
Any recommendations for a source for the table runner? Is the OSGeo<br>
cafepress store the source for shirts? What is the best source for<br>
the DVDs (is it already available at some vendors)?<br>
<br>
Branders.com has been recommended as one source for USBs with printed<br>
logos, It appears as if 50 4GB drives with logo would cost roughly<br>
$450. Are there other recommendations for USB sources? Any that have<br>
a good track record for bootable USBs?<br>
<br>
Other than writing this list, what is the process to request marketing<br>
funds?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Eli<br>
