[FOSS4G-UK] Free tickets for speakers

[Nick Bearman]

Good point Barry - last year we decided no central swag because a) 
logistics of getting stuff to 8 venues is hard b) environmental reasons.

T-shirts could be a nice thing for speakers. Any one any idea how much 
this would be?

Let's chat about this at the next meeting.

We did do some stickers - and I suggest we do this again this year.

I have also done some OSGeo:UK stickers which we can do some more of.

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.

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.

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!!

Best wishes,
Nick.
