<div class="moz-cite-prefix">OSGeo Marketing:<br>
I propose we approve the spending of up to:<br>
$100 for consumables<br>
$200 for non consumables<br>
<br>
+1 from me.<br>
<br>
Elli,<br>
As you deadline is fast approaching, I'll make a call as Marketing
chair on what is in and out of scope based on what I think we can
afford if applied to all expected requests for funding:<br>
<br>
As you have explained, this conference definitely qualifies as an
event promoting OSGeo in that OSGeo is being provided a booth for
free, and speaking slots on OSGeo topics.<br>
<br>
Also, there doesn't seem to be direct matching funds for printing
costs, so I suggest OSGeo should pay: ($2 per DVD) * (10% * 400
delegates) + ($20 to round up) = $100. You may use this for
printing of DVDs or USBs or printed material. Your choice.<br>
<br>
For non consumable items, a table runner is not covered (we
suggest using a simple table cloth from home instead). Shirts and
literature stand is covered. I'm comfortable with approving $200
toward non-consumables (as I you explain that your chapter has
spent $300 of your $500).<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>

<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>

<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>

<div>We have what I call an OSGeo 'pop up banner' (I think
this is the same thing as a 'top up'). To complete the
Exhibition pack we would need some shirts and a table
runner (maybe a table cloth too). I think that our pop
up banner might have used about $300 of the $500 but am
not sure how that actually panned out. <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>
