creating a "OSGeoLive in the Cloud" instance which could be spun up and <br>
used during training sessions. (This could be a great Google Season of <br>
Code topic). I think this could be done with free developer AWS <br>
instances, but it would be good to have access to budget if required to <br>
support a first deployment.<br>
<br>
Also, it would be good to have discretionary funding to pay for <br>
OSGeoLive USBs for conferences that ask for it during the year. Maybe do <br>
a print run of 500 to 1000 USBs (That would be 50 to 100 USBs at an <br>
OSGeo table at a conference/workshop/code sprint, for 10 to 20 events).<br>
