[Board] Request for funding of OSGeo Live thumb drives for regional Geo-conference

[Jody Garnett]

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
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_of_Directors#Operational_Budget_for_2016>
on the wiki ).

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